Strokes of Life
In Ahida Sarmai's abstract masterpiece, framed in an elegant white wooden glass frame, viewers are transported into a captivating landscape of sand and lush greenery. The painting's vibrant colors, including green, brown, light green, white, yellow, and sea green, evoke a sense of dynamic movement and natural beauty.
Divided into three horizontal segments, the painting unfolds like a visual narrative. At the top, a rich dark green hue dominates, creating a sense of depth and perspective. Painted with a flat brush and watered-down acrylic, the strokes cascade smoothly from top to bottom, seamlessly blending into the layers below.
In the middle segment, a symphony of colors comes to life. Light green forms the backdrop of a verdant grassland, accented by sporadic bursts of yellow and white. Dark green accents add dimension and contrast, while splotching and turning techniques with a round brush imbue the scene with texture and vitality.
At the bottom, earthy tones take center stage. A warm brown hue, reminiscent of rich soil, spreads across the canvas, echoing the natural landscape. Painted with precision and finesse, the strokes flow upward, harmonizing with the layers above and completing the immersive tableau.
Through Sarmai's expert use of color and technique, viewers are invited to embark on a visual journey, where the boundaries between reality and abstraction blur, and the beauty of nature unfolds in captivating detail.
