This serene landscape painting offers a contemplative glimpse into a hillside village where simplicity of form and tonal harmony evoke a tranquil, almost meditative atmosphere. The composition is composed of clustered, low-slung geometric buildings rendered in a warm palette of beige, ochre, and brown tones, inviting viewers into a rustic environment that feels both grounded and timeless.
The artist employs a simplified, impressionistic style that emphasizes the essential shapes and muted color relationships rather than intricate detail. This approach allows the painting to breathe with a quiet rhythm, where the soft gradations of light and shadow gently define the architectural forms and suggest the subtle shifts of time, perhaps the stillness of twilight or the gentle awakening of dawn. Interspersed among the buildings are patches of dark green foliage, which provide a refreshing contrast to the warm earth tones. These natural elements break up the structural repetition, adding visual interest and reminding viewers of the village’s organic integration within its surrounding landscape. The foliage also contributes to a layered sense of depth, enhancing the composition’s spatial complexity despite its simplified execution.
A dark circular form, interpreted as either the sun or the moon, hovers in the sky, serving as a powerful compositional and symbolic element. This ambiguous celestial body anchors the scene and reinforces the painting’s contemplative mood. Its muted darkness contrasts with the warm colors below, suggesting a moment suspended between day and night, light and shadow, presence and absence. Harmony of the work stems from the artist’s deft control of tonal balance and minimalist expression. The painting does not overwhelm with detail but invites viewers to linger in its calm spaces, absorbing the gentle interplay of form, color, and atmosphere. This restraint amplifies the emotional resonance, allowing the work to transcend its subject and evoke universal feelings of peace, memory, and place. This piece exemplifies how abstraction and impressionism can merge to articulate a sense of environment and mood. It highlights the beauty of rural life and the quiet dignity of simple living through a visual language that is both accessible and deeply poetic. Landscape is an invitation to pause and reflect, a moment of serene stillness captured in paint, bridging the natural world and human habitation with subtle grace and timeless appeal.
Why Choose Us
Art has always, naturally, reflected the development and exploration of different thoughts and perceptions, and our current postmodern era is no different. It is interesting to see how art has evolved visually, yet the traditional methods of composing art remain a valid means of expression.
All it takes for an artist to rise above normalcy, is inspiration, which fuels his passion to paint beautiful creations throughout his life.
The valuable expression of art is always there with us, but now this expression is yet to take an interesting diversion with our art gallery, Gallery Silver Scapes, located in Hauz Khas Enclave. Art is no longer considered just decorative but has evolved and come forth as a major form of investment yielding high rates of returns for its buyers, making it an expression commonly used.
Mrs Mayor was walked into the art world by the legendary modernist Bimal Das Gupta, one of whose biggest collections remains with Gallery Silver Scapes. In the 1980s, as head and first curator of the Habiart Gallery founded by Mrs Rekha Modi — a childhood friend — Mrs Mayor worked closely with and curated shows for renowned artists such as A Ramachandran, GR Santosh, Rameshwar Broota, Sakti Burman, MK Bardhan, Dhiraj Chaudhury, M Sivanesan, and Arup Das among others.
Besides modern masters, she also worked with young contemporaries such as Sudip Roy, Paresh Maity, Subroto Kundu, Vinod Sharma, and many more. Artworks commissioned by her are now part of prestigious collections, such as those of the India Habitat Centre, Ranbaxy, Pepsi, Hotel Lalit, Bank of America, and many more private and public collections.
