This painting reflects an intuitive response to water, light, and the natural world. Layered blues move gently across a textured ground containing volcanic sand, creating a sense of depth and openness. The work holds a calm, meditative quality, while the surface reveals traces of material, time, and process.

Nila refers to the colour blue in Sanskrit, associated with depth, calm, and the elemental forces of water and sky. Tirta means ‘sacred water’ or a place of crossing, reflecting water as both a physical and transformative presence.
