Description
This abstract expressionist painting ‘The Colours Of India’ was inspired by 2 journeys to this exciting country.
India is a land of vibrant colours, both in its architecture and the clothing of its people.
In Indian culture, colours are deeply intertwined with spirituality and daily life. White symbolizes purity, peace, and spiritual power, often worn by spiritual leaders and used in rituals and festivals like Diwali. Red represents energy, power, passion, and marital bliss, commonly seen in weddings and associated with goddesses. Yellow, the colour of turmeric, signifies knowledge, learning, and prosperity, while blue embodies infinity, calmness, and divinity, often linked to deities like Krishna and Vishnu. Green symbolizes life, renewal, and fertility, and saffron (orange) represents renunciation, courage, and spirituality, prominently featured in Hindu rituals and the Indian flag. Black conveys power and protection, and gold signifies wealth and divine light.
