This painting by Amita Raj Goyal is a lyrical abstraction that evokes a dreamlike landscape through its use of layered textures and shifting tonalities. The canvas is divided into two broad bands: a deep blue sky above and a pale, almost glowing horizon below, where a half-disc form suggests the rising or setting moon. Emerging from this horizon is a cluster of fragmented, overlapping shapes—angular, curved, and textured—forming a dynamic interplay of black, white, blue, and muted green. These elements resemble both architectural remnants and organic fragments, blurring the line between nature and structure.
Hovering above, a floating, bird-like form composed of fractured blue and white patterns adds a sense of movement and transcendence, as though lifting away from the dense, earthbound cluster below. The effect is one of balance between heaviness and lightness, solidity and dissolution.With its lyrical ambiguity and flowing rhythm, the work evokes a tension between rootedness and ascent, presence and absence, offering a meditation on transformation and the transience of time.
