I loved bringing this painting to life and now keep it proudly in my home.
It is my homage to Himachal — a tapestry of traditional textile patterns translated onto canvas.
This 24 x 36 piece took over 80 hours to complete, each detail painted slowly and deliberately.
Built in layers on a 48 x 48 canvas, it holds a small Indian flag — quiet, yet deeply present.
It is not loud patriotism, but a personal acknowledgment of identity, roots, and belonging.
One day, I would love to create similar pieces for others who wish to honour their own histories and homeland.
Seen here from a different angle, this painting lives exactly where I hoped it would — held by a wall that unknowingly echoes its blues.
What felt abstract at first, revealed itself as something deeply personal.
The small flag rests almost unnoticed at first glance, yet it anchors the entire canvas in identity and belonging.
