Kaliya Ka - “Another story for…”

Another story for…
/acrylic, silver foil on canvas, 60/60 cm, 2024/

"A vibrant, expressive acrylic and silver foil painting depicting a surreal landscape with a dramatic dark mountain and a starry sky, punctuated by a striking row of red, orange, and yellow abstract markers in the foreground."

Kaliya Ka has become recognizable with the vibrant images of the urban environment, the straight and sharp structures of office buildings, the crowds and the small person in the busy modern urban life. It is through these activities that she begins to discover more deeply the presence of nature both in the city and in the inner world of modern man – increasingly in need of soft and exquisite natural forms.
