Title: Kaalchakra
Artist: Mrinal Dutt

The painting Kaalchakra presents an evocative depiction of time's eternal cycle, symbolizing the continuous flow of life, death, and rebirth. At its core, the piece features a large, circular form resembling a wheel, with intricate patterns and ancient symbols etched along its rim, representing the unending passage of time.

The composition is filled with a rich palette of deep blues, golds, and earthy tones, creating a sense of both depth and antiquity. Within the wheel, various celestial bodies like the sun, moon, and stars are depicted, each encased in their own orbit, highlighting the cosmic dimensions of time. Shadows and highlights across the piece suggest movement and transformation, as if the wheel itself is in constant rotation.

Swirling within the background are motifs inspired by traditional Indian art, adding a touch of mysticism and grounding the piece in cultural heritage. The painting captures the viewer’s attention and invites contemplation on the inevitable cycles that govern existence, reminding us of the impermanence and continuity of life.
