Banaras Series 1

This painting unfurls like a remembered coastline—architecture, cliffs, and water dissolved into prismatic planes that hold the scene together more by sensation than by geography. A dominant tide of blues steadies the composition while warm, ember-like accents skim the horizon and rooftops, suggesting human presence as a fragile glow against the vastness of sea and sky. The faceted forms—half village, half mirage—create a rhythmic drift between solidity and reflection, as if the place is perpetually being rebuilt by light. In this suspended mosaic, the landscape becomes a meditation on impermanence: a harbor not only for boats, but for fleeting perceptions and the quiet longing to anchor them.
