                                                    This artwork captures the tranquil stillness of early mornings in a monastery. The delicate silhouettes of monks in muted earth tones harmonise with the natural textures of the background, emphasising the simplicity of monastic life. The phrase, “Early morning in the monastery, a whiff of burning incense—drifting silently,” evokes the gentle experience of incense wafting through the air, immersing viewers in a sacred space. Gupta reflects on these moments of epiphany, celebrating the deeper magnificence of life revealed through his Zen-inspired creations.
