Oil Painting

This painting bears a strong cultural connection to my visit to India, where I captured a memorable photograph. In this painting, I focused on the decorative arches, intricate carvings on pillars, and the friezes that showcased the richness and cultural significance of the architecture. These elements were vital in not only rendering the scene faithfully but also in conveying the cultural depth and intricacies of the subject matter. In this painting, I focused on the proportionality of objects, sizing the architectural moment in relation to its surroundings, which included the bushes, the street lamp, and the distant buildings. This attention to proportion contributed to the overall logicality of the piece. I also considered the interplay of the light source and the shadows on the edges of the building by using darker shades of brown, creating a three dimensional effect. Furthermore, I dedicated myself to capturing the intricate textural details found in the sand-covered, pebbled ground, the colorful designs on the roof and even the leaf-like texture in the bushes. This was accomplished by blending multiple shades of base color and layering them to create depth and texture within the scene.

Art brings me unimaginable joy. It absorbs me into the painting, providing an escape from the world’s clamor. Through paintings, I can both express my inner self and comprehend the diverse world around me. It is a medium for storytelling, conveying narratives, and cherishing moments I hold dear.
