Raat

40” x 40”

Original Painting by Ayeesha Khanna

Acrylic on Canvas

The painting titled 'Raat,' which means 'Night' in Hindi, is an evocative tapestry of deep blues and fiery oranges, interweaving a profound connection with the theme of 'midnight.' The vibrant orange petals stand out against the midnight blue background, symbolizing the burst of energy, warmth, and life that can exist even in the darkest hours.

The intricate blue lines suggest the complex, often hidden layers of the night, while the solitary stamen reaching out into the void echoes the quiet search for light and direction in the depths of midnight. This contrast embodies the duality of midnight—where the end of one day meets the beginning of another, a threshold moment full of both reflection and possibility.
