INDIA I WAS HERE

The painting India I Was Here collapses timelines, blending cosmic and earthly realms into a single, fluid narrative. At its center, a film actress from a bygone era gazes timelessly, serving as a spectral bridge between past and present. Below, a vibrant Hyderabad street scene teems with energy, where tradition meets playfulness: Lord Ganesh, serene yet contemporary, wears a quirky suit amidst the urban chaos. Incorporating Mughal and modern architectural motifs, the composition reflects India's multifaceted identity. Clouds and geometric symmetry evoke the ephemeral nature of reality, prompting the question: Is life a dream, or are dreams real? The piece invites contemplation on existence, cultural heritage, and the harmony between tradition and innovation, dissolving the boundaries of imagination and reality.
