Artwork Description

A flowing asymmetrical composition that echoes the Golden Ratio, leading the viewer through the present moment.

Life often appears linear measured by time, expectations, and the constant pursuit of what comes next. The vertical lines in the background represent this structure: the path we believe life should follow. Flowing across them is a single curved band, symbolising the present moment. Unlike the rigid lines, it moves freely, reminding us that life is truly experienced not in the future or the past, but in the now.

The dog, flowers, ball, and apple are still life elements that exist together within a single frame. Though each has its own place, they all share the same present moment. They rest upon the flowing band, existing within life’s linear structure while choosing presence over progression. Inspired by the way animals experience life, the painting reflects a simple truth: the whole universe unfolds here and now. Every moment, every object, every living being exists only in this shared present. While we cannot escape the structure of time, we can choose to fully inhabit the moment in which life is actually happening.

Artist Bio

I am originally from India and completed my five-year Bachelor of Architecture in Chandigarh. During this time, I began exploring my artistic voice by creating paintings for interior design projects, collaborating with designers, and painting murals for cafés. In 2019, I moved to Australia to pursue a Master’s degree in Architecture. Alongside my studies, I worked as a part-time painting instructor, continuing to develop my artistic practice.

Over the years, through countless canvases and experimentation with different techniques, my work gradually evolved toward a deeper exploration of animals and their way of being. I became fascinated by the quiet wisdom animals embody and the way they exist fully in the present moment, untouched by the complexity of human thought.

Through my paintings, I invite viewers to experience the simplicity and immediacy of life through the presence of animals. Their awareness appears direct and undivided, offering a reflection on mindfulness and the possibility of living more fully in the present.

Recently, my practice has expanded into abstract painting as a way to explore the emotional world of animals. I have long been curious about what animals truly feel. As humans, we can only perceive life through our own structured and analytical minds, often layered with memory and anticipation. The quiet inner experience of an animal remains beyond our direct understanding.

These abstract works attempt to approach that mystery. Linear backgrounds represent the passage of time steady, calm, and continuous suggesting a life that moves forward without becoming entangled in thought. Within this flow, a single emotion emerges. Pure and immediate, it transforms the moment into a deeper experiential state.

The paintings capture this intersection of time, presence, and feeling where awareness is not analytical but lived. They are reflections on existence experienced directly rather than interpreted through thought.
