The self 22. Abstract Painting, 2024

Neerja Chandna Peters  

Geometry meets emotion in this vibrant acrylic composition. Symmetrical arcs overlap to create a rhythmic visual melody. Soft pinks merge with luminous yellows and deep oranges. These hues bleed into one another through precise layering. The result is a translucent depth that suggests organic growth within a structured frame. 
A deep blue backdrop anchors the central form. It provides a cool contrast to the warmth of the inner spheres. The arrangement evokes the shape of a blossoming flower or a celestial alignment. Balance is key to this visual experience. Every curve mirrors its counterpart across a vertical axis. 
This artwork reflects a sophisticated approach to geometric abstraction. It blends scientific precision with a poetic sensibility. The clean edges and smooth gradients demonstrate a mastery of contemporary painting techniques. A serene energy radiates from the core. The composition guides the eye from the bright center toward the muted green edges. It remains a study in harmony and spectral vibrance.

Realising the consciousness or Self is realising the Universe and its Source. Connecting with this light within is also then a path of connecting with the Source. The Self series of works celebrates this connection with the Self.

Neerja Chandna Peters enjoys achieving fluid harmony through the play of lines, their symmetrical synchronicity and rhythmic interplay, manipulating tones, saturation, and values, thus creating subtle optical movement with their variable refrangibility. In her compositions, lines and light are not merely aesthetic choices but act as conduits leading the viewer to a space of stillness and contemplation. Over time, she has come to understand that clarity often lies in reduction. A single color or the movement of a line can evoke a profound resonance when approached with intention. This practice focuses as much on the process as the result. It is about finding balance, not only 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.
