The Red Garden

The Red Garden

Under a crescent moon, a great tree rises - its branches alive with nesting birds and the whisper of wings returning through the night. Behind it glows a red wall, its upper edge adorned with delicate ornament, enclosing a world that breathes like a dream.

Within this hidden garden, blue pathways shimmer like flowing silk, and flowers sparkle in the moonlight, their petals touched by silver. A small stream winds through the scene, carrying reflections of stars and leaves alike.

The Red Garden is a vision of nocturnal harmony - where moonlight, color, and song weave together in stillness, and every branch seems to remember the rhythm of flight.

Mother Cow

Mother Cow

A mother cow stands beside her calf, her head gently turned toward it in quiet devotion. Her body is adorned with an ornate saddle, patterned like a tapestry of care, and from her back a tree begins to grow - life rising from life. Around them, arabesques unfold in soft, luminous symmetry, echoing the harmony between creature and creation.

The earth itself seems sustained by her presence: the patience of her gaze, the abundance of her milk, the calm rhythm of her being. in Hindu tradition, the cow embodies this sacred freedom - not through power, but through boundless giving, a love so gentle it sustains the world.

Peace

Peace

Under a sky of stars and a gentle half-moon, a woman stands wrapped in a soft veil of night. Her white hair glows faintly in the darkness, her face serene, as if listening to a silence deeper than words. In her arms she holds a bouquet of flowers - fragile, radiant offerings to the world around her.

The painting is a quiet prayer for harmony. It speaks of peace not as the absence of conflict, but as a luminous presence - the stillness born from compassion and friendship with all living beings.
