Vinod Sharma’s evocative canvas offers a profound exploration of form, materiality, and spiritual resonance. At the heart of the composition stands a monumental, shrouded mass, its ochre-hued surface rising solemnly against a vast, brooding backdrop that evokes both terrestrial dusk and celestial depth. This central form, both grounded and enigmatic, becomes a symbol of permanence, silence, and meditative isolation.

Executed in richly layered oil, the painting is a testament to Sharma’s refined technique and his ability to articulate meaning through surface. The texture, built slowly through accretions of pigment, invites a tactile response, compelling the viewer to linger over the subtle modulations of tone, density, and light. The earth-toned palette, dominated by siennas, ochres, and muted greys, imbues the work with an ancient, almost geological quality. The result is a surface that feels weathered by time, bearing quiet testimony to both the natural world and the inner realm of thought.

Sharma's flow with light and shadow serves not only a formal function but also a metaphysical one. The softly illuminated edges and obscured recesses create a delicate tension, blurring distinctions between solidity and illusion, figure and void. This ambiguity situates the viewer in a liminal space, one that exists between landscape and abstraction, materiality and spirit. The monumental form, while suggesting a geological structure, transcends literal interpretation to become an icon of meditative stillness and sublime presence.

This painting resists narrative in favor of introspective experience. It is not merely a depiction of a place or a scene; it is an invocation of emotional and existential depth. The viewer is invited into a contemplative dialogue with the work, where the immovable mass at its center becomes a mirror for human solitude, endurance, and the search for meaning within silence. Sharma’s canvas ultimately functions as a spiritual artifact, an object of reverence and inward gaze. In its restrained drama and masterful balance of scale, texture, and tone, it offers a deeply affecting vision of the sublime, where the physical and metaphysical coalesce. This is landscape not as observation, but as meditation: austere, timeless, and quietly transcendent.

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.
