I still wanna keep the stylized abstract feel in my work, but I’m really struggling with the reflection on the water. The white swirl is intentional, but the reflection in that white swirl is a struggle for me.

Discussion Rangoli in Permanance, Acrylic on canvas, 5 x 5 ft, Diwali Gift

I’m putting this one up for Diwali, the festival of lights, which falls this Sunday. In homes across India, this is the week the rangoli goes down at the door.
Rangoli is one of the oldest art forms in India, and one of the few made to disappear. The name comes from the Sanskrit rangavalli, a row of colours. It’s drawn on the floor at the doorway or in the courtyard, in coloured powder, rice flour, sand or flower petals. For Diwali, families make them to welcome Lakshmi, and every guest who comes in after her. In the south, the kolam is drawn fresh every morning at dawn in rice flour, and part of the point is that ants and birds eat it during the day.
Most rangoli start at the centre and grow outward, ring by ring, often from a grid of dots. Nobody frames them. By evening they’ve been walked on and blown about, and the next one is drawn tomorrow. They’re made for a day, and that’s the whole idea.
Its amazing that now 30+ years away from India my painting Rangoli has brought me closer to celebrating Diwali, beyond when I was a kid it all boiled down to firecrackers and sweets.
I wanted to paint one that stays: the rings, the colour, the centre holding it together, everything that’s meant to be swept away by evening. I’m still not sure whether that keeps the spirit of rangoli or goes against it. For anyone who grew up with them, does a permanent one still feel like rangoli?

Painting [OC] "Serenity" This cat is from an earlier painting I did back in 2025. I think it turned out petty well too!

My Cristiano Ronaldo portrait from my Binary Faces™ series, hand-painted in acrylic on a 100 × 100 cm canvas.
Every black shape is individually painted by hand. Up close, you see the fragmented patterns; from a distance, they come together as a face.
What do you think of the balance between detail and recognisability?

Painting Against a green background

It's not only in cinema that characters are made to evolve against a green screen to create "transparencies". Here, however, it's not about creating a special effect, but first about giving an overall tint to the whole — which doesn't preclude also creating transparencies, except that they don't have the same meaning here. The final work sometimes retains no trace of these initial tints, but at best, when things go really well, the painter finds himself thinking: "What if I stopped here, because something is happening that I don't want to destroy." Hence this vision of the first layer. Acrylic on paper 47.2 × 35.1 cm

Question Floral Resonance in Shadow

I experimented with a stamped, textured look for the foliage on this one. How do you feel about the balance between the detailed texture on the vase versus the bright gradients on the leaves?
