‘My landscapes are born of my own meditative experience, the surreal qualities take over because of my inner responses to nature’s many manifestations.’ Contemporary artist Ompal Sansanwal’s paintings capture the magic and majesty of nature. In the collection of paintings in Meditations on Trees, Ompal’s trees appear to enter a meditative state, in harmony with the surrounding verdant environment. With a bold treatment and using classical Asian painting methods and Western modernist techniques, his paintings demonstrate his keen eye for the splendid variety of flora, fauna, minerals, and materials. His paintings are a testament to the beauty of nature.
