Description

This surreal painting by Bireshwar Bhattacharya places a luminous figure in yellow atop a dark, boat-like curve, set against a blazing red sky and radiant sun. The green parasol and bowl of offerings evoke ritual and reverence, while the shadowy silhouette behind the figure suggests duality, memory, or spiritual presence. The stark contrast between light and dark, motion and stillness, creates a meditative tension that invites introspection. Bhattacharya’s style—rooted in symbolic realism and theatrical composition—transforms everyday gestures into cosmic narratives of solitude, devotion, and transcendence.
