This small mixed media painting is composed of acrylic, oil sticks, soft pastels and graphite on fabric and wood. Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s poem “The Last Curtain”, the artwork reminds vaguely of a sunset on the sea, trying to encapsulate Tagore’s themes of transition and transcendence, echoing his meditation on the mysteries of life and the promise of what lies beyond the last curtain.

As a multidisciplinary artist and documentary filmmaker, I’ve always been attracted to the inner landscapes of human beings, exploring themes of cultural hybridity, psychology, and spirituality. Having lived among complex and conflictual worlds, my work reflects diverse cultural influences and a personal exploration of identity, belonging and freedom. My paintings are characterised by bold and vibrant colour choices, employing multiple media and materials, like the diverse fabrics of societies I inhabit. As a result of this identity tapestry, I became interested in the transcendental, and how we can arrive from the material to the immaterial, where perhaps we can find more things in common than the conflictual realities we live in.
