This body of work marks an important stage in the development of my practice. After moving from murals to canvas, I found myself becoming increasingly fascinated by the relationship between red and blue. Rather than choosing them simply as colours, I began exploring how they could carry emotion, symbolism, and spiritual meaning.

At the same time, I started researching Indian philosophy and mythology. As I immersed myself in the stories of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, I realised I wasn’t only learning about mythology—I was reconnecting with a part of myself and my spirituality that I had never experienced so deeply before.

These paintings were created through a process of exploration and experimentation. Working with mixed media, including acrylic paint, soft pastels, charcoal, and oil sticks, I allowed colour, symbolism, and instinct to guide each composition. Looking back, these works became the foundation for everything that followed.

More than a series of paintings, Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh became the beginning of a personal journey. It eventually led me to create Samudra Manthan, where my research into Indian philosophy, spirituality, and consciousness became the centre of my practice.
