In this acrylic on paper work by Rekha Rao, earthy reds and deep ochres form a richly textured field, animated by scattered white and yellow strokes that evoke petals, stones, or memories surfacing from within. The layers suggest a landscape shaped by time and emotion. Rekha, born in 1947 in Mumbai and trained by her father K.K. Hebbar, blends abstraction with memory. Her paintings evolve through repeated viewings, revealing subtle symbolism and inner narratives. Rekha’s work is a meditation on harmony amidst chaos offering viewers not just visuals, but stories embedded in colour, texture, and lived experience.
