Banaras Ghat 2

This painting stages a village as a constellation of faceted roofs and glowing apertures, where warm, ember-like interiors press against a cool, aqueous blue that cuts through the composition like a quiet current. Angular planes and stained-glass color breaks fracture the architecture into memory-shards, suggesting a place both inhabited and half-dreamed—familiar, yet perpetually shifting. The trees stand as dark, calligraphic sentinels, their branching forms binding the scene while also heightening its sense of watchful solitude, as if nature is the keeper of the settlement’s stories. Light here is not merely illumination but a psychological pulse, turning windows into small vows of life amid an otherwise crystalline, unsettled space.
