P. Gopinath's artwork combines a number of elements from Indian tradition, but one of the most important things he explored was creating his own unique pictorial language based on the concepts of architectural versus pictorial space. He was heavily influenced by Madhubani paintings and Pahadi miniatures in this endeavour. His work is multi-layered, and one can spot aspects of Indian calligraphy, hybridised birds and animals, and even indications of more complex design components.
