Manoj Dutta's artworks have a core panel full of vibrant colours that depict a guardian and kid beneath a tree, signifying safety and growth in the face of political instability. The panels on either side, which are colourful and feature birds and blossoming flowers, illustrate how interwoven life is despite socioeconomic obstacles. By portraying the spirit of peasant life and the simplicity and beauty it embodies, Dutta's meticulous tempera technique creates a colourful tapestry that celebrates the eternal links of family and nature's persistence amid social turbulence.
