Astodia Darwaza (A Vibrant Cityscape) Serigraphs Cityscape Painting

Bathed in a sun-warmed wash of ochre, the city unfurls as a palimpsest of memory—its arched gateway and distant spire sketched with nervous, lyrical line as if architecture were being recalled rather than recorded. A dense, flowering tree surges across the right flank, its looping greens and blues counterpointing the rectilinear facades and turning the scene into a quiet negotiation between organic abundance and built order. The compressed foreground—steps, plinth, and street—pulls the viewer inward, where a solitary figure and vehicle become modest emblems of daily passage, dwarfed by the enduring ceremonial weight of the threshold. Light here is not merely illumination but atmosphere: it dissolves edges, softens time, and renders the urban space as both lived reality and intimate reverie.
