Samadhi 2. From The Samadhi Series, 2020

Neerja Chandna Peters  

This artwork is a striking example of geometric abstraction, featuring a vivid array of interlocking triangles and polygons. The composition creates a symmetrical pattern, drawing the viewer's eye to the central focal point. Dominated by bold reds, the piece is accentuated with contrasting shades of pink, blue, black, and yellow, giving it a dynamic and vibrant energy. The use of gradients and overlapping shapes adds depth, making the image appear almost three-dimensional. The artist skillfully balances color and form, creating a harmonious yet intense visual experience. The meticulous arrangement of angles and lines showcases precision and creativity, inviting contemplation of the interplay between structure and chaos. This artwork stands out for its ability to merge simplicity with complexity, leaving a lasting impression on its audience.

The movement of optics silhouetted and contoured by straight lines and bare flat tints in their formless purity, for me embodies the Divine grace and luminous energy that the soul of a seeker acquires in this process of self gathering and spiritual realisation or discovery, a ‘journey within’ that accompanies this abstract creation of visual and rhythmic poetry reverberating and vibrating in directions to and from the center. Samadhi is a state of meditative absorption into a state of loss of separateness from its Ultimate essence and reality.

Neerja Chandna Peters enjoys navigating harmony through the play of lines with their symmetrical synchrony and rhythmic interplay, manipulating the nuances, their saturation and their values, thus creating a subtle movement of optics with their variable refrangibility.

In her compositions, lines and light are not mere aesthetic choices, but act as conduits that lead the viewer into a space of stillness and contemplation. Over time, the artist has come to understand that clarity often lies in reduction. A single color or the movement of a line can evoke a deep resonance when approached with intention.

This practice is as much about process as it is about outcome. It is about finding balance, not just on the canvas, but within. The act of creating becomes a reflection of this alignment, a moment when the finite touches the infinite, and the work itself becomes an offering.
