In a roiling canvas of textured strokes, Husain translates inner turbulence into vivid motion. From the swirling ether arises a hand in Ardhapataka mudra—“half‑flag” gesture of transition, instruction, and divine force—guiding the eye toward the radiant bindu, his timeless emblem of origin, unity, and awakening. Each impetuous line and ember‑laced hue reverberates with fervent energy, as form, color, and fire meld in a focused exploration of the divine. The interplay of jagged lines, layered depths, and contrasting planes creating a meditation on spiritual ascent warmed from within and alive with a quiet, burning devotion.
