Although the works are essentially contemporary there is an unmistakable element of mysticism. The usage of blue in different shades along with other muted shades of brown, green and orange heighten the sense of mysticism further. The simple yet intricate flora and fauna spreading all across the canvas comes alive with certain sense of movement and life. The underlying flow of energy gets transmuted to the painted characters on the canvas.
