সন্ধ্যা(Shondha) - Evening, is my imagination of a mystical brook that plays with the moon’s reflection, stony undulations, trees and finally quenches ‘man’s red flower’ - fire.
Amidst the dark and grey, it draws me to something beautiful and romantic. Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is filled with allegorical icons, he calls fire, the ‘red flower’ as it signifies man’s ability to change and control his environment. For me, this evening is a symbolic juxtaposition of nature and man, reality and imagination.
This mixed media painting is 18” x 24” and replaces an old painting of mine that was lost in storage fire.
