Dominating the composition are bold, thick angular strokes that define the visual language of this painting. The somber color palette sets a unique mood, challenging conventional notions of beauty often associated with the Kashmir valley. Santosh's semi-abstract approach harks back to his earlier days, reflecting the influence of geometric shapes and the vast mystic beauty that characterizes the region. The painting stands as a testament to the artist's ability to evolve while maintaining a connection to his artistic roots.
