Glimpse of Himachal
Allow yourself to be immersed in the artistic brilliance of 'Glimpse of Himachal' by Ahida Sarmai, a talented 15-year-old artist with Down Syndrome associated with the Down Syndrome Parents Society in New Delhi. This 12*16 inches acrylic masterpiece on handmade sheet serves as an abstract representation of the breathtaking scenic charm of Himachal Pradesh, the artist's cherished homeland.
In this captivating artwork, the canvas unfolds a picturesque landscape where the horizon gracefully meets with the verdant shores of a river, adorned with thick and long, majestic trees. The color palette employed by Ahida captures the essence of the region, employing rich shades of blue, yellow, green, and a swath of brown that ties the composition together.
Divided into three distinct sections, the bottom of the frame features a dark green shrubbery, providing a textured foundation for the vibrant scene. On the left edge, a green crawling shrubbery ascends along the left side, reaching the top third of the canvas. Just above this, a serene lake extends towards the center line, painted in a delightful light blue adorned with generous strokes of pristine white, interspersed with hints of dark blue and light green.
The lake is bordered by a brown landmass on the right side, from which a swath of thick green trees emerges. These trees are delicately colored in light green, punctuated with subtle touches of yellow and dark green, creating a harmonious blend of natural hues. The sky above mirrors the tranquility of the scene, rendered in a light blue slightly darker than the lake, with patches of yellow to mimic the gentle touch of sunlight.
As you explore 'Glimpse of Himachal,' envision the artist's connection to her homeland, beautifully expressed through the careful selection of colors and strokes. Each element in the composition tells a story of the mesmerizing landscapes of Himachal Pradesh, inviting you to witness the artist's unique perspective and celebrate the beauty of nature through abstract art.
