Krishna Bhakti (The Third Eye)

A cool, cerulean visage in profile holds the picture in a contemplative hush, its smooth planes interrupted by vine-like flourishes that read as thoughts taking root beneath the skin. Behind the head, a radiant orange disc—half halo, half sun—presses warmth against the figure’s calm detachment, staging a dialogue between inner stillness and the insistence of the world. The small violet forms, hovering like birds or embryonic spirits, introduce a tender counterpoint: imagination as breath, approaching the mouth yet never quite becoming speech. In the subtle geometry of the background, the work suggests a constructed reality—memory tiled into pattern—against which the self tries to remain lucid, luminous, and whole.
