Raza
has masterfully captured the tactile qualities of colors and shades through
intuitive abstraction in this majestic piece. Raza skillfully employs a vibrant
color palette. Red and orange symbolize growth and new beginnings, while
yellows represent fiery energies. The deep black hues encompass the skies
above. The lower section of the painting introduces sacred geometry, where
inverted and upright triangles symbolize the act of creation, delving into the
profound philosophies of purusha-prakriti. Raza's fascination with the
aesthetics of Indian mysticism shines through, giving rise to a new genre of
geometric abstraction with evident neo-tantric influences, beautifully
exemplified in this artwork.
