Tattvamasi 1

This work unfurls like a meditative mandala—layer upon layer of scalloped, petal-like forms spiraling inward toward a dark, quiet nucleus that feels both womb and void. Cool silvers and bruised blues catch the light along each ridge, while the surrounding field of earthen reds and oxidized browns radiates heat, creating a charged dialogue between containment and expansion. The repetition is not merely ornamental; it suggests breath, ritual, and the slow architecture of inner time, as if the painting were mapping the way attention gathers, tightens, and finally surrenders to stillness. In its tactile, almost embossed surface, the piece turns pattern into presence, inviting the viewer to linger at the threshold between serenity and intensity.
