BHRAMAR NA AWE PASS

Here's a medium-length version suitable for an exhibition catalogue or portfolio: Writing "Champa, you possess three virtues—beauty, colour and fragrance; what flaw do you have that the bee never comes near?" These lines inspired this painting. They raise a timeless question about the unseen imperfections that may exist even within beauty and virtue. Through a minimalist composition, I portray a woman in silent contemplation, questioning God about this paradox. Holding a champa flower in one hand and a butterfly in the other, she reflects on why beauty, goodness, and fragrance are not always enough to attract acceptance or fulfilment. The large leaf above symbolizes life, protection, and the quiet presence of nature, while the expansive yellow background creates a sense of peace, hope, and spiritual space. Rather than offering an answer, the painting invites viewers to reflect on the mysteries of existence. It suggests that not every question has a visible explanation, and that the search for meaning often becomes a journey of faith, self-reflection, and acceptance.
