Sohan Qadri’s colour-saturated visual fields were exercises in meditation for him while creating these paintings, and they were a meditative experience for the viewer of the painting as well. First a yogi and then an artist, he was unabashed about his colours, mostly choosing bright shades to convey a heightened sense of existence. It was his ability to speak a universal spiritual language that endeared his art to connoisseurs globally. In this large work, Qadri celebrates life through a DNA-strand like chain of interlinked units coursing through a sea of red, the colour of life and fertility.
