Description

This abstract composition by Shyam Sharma, titled What We Saw, exemplifies his mastery of printmaking and symbolic geometry. At its center lies a cross-divided square, each quadrant layered with expressive textures, gestural marks, and bursts of color—blue, brown, white, and accents of red and yellow—suggesting fragmented memory or elemental forces. A smaller tilted blue square above introduces spatial tension, while the surrounding golden border inscribed with stylized script-like forms evokes sacred text or coded language. Sharma’s integration of architectural precision with emotive abstraction reflects his lifelong engagement with indigenous printmaking techniques and philosophical inquiry, transforming visual structure into a contemplative field of perception and meaning.
