Reflection of colours

Beauty of nature is the predominant theme of the abstract paintings of Ciddula Krishna reflecting the colours and feel of summer season. The artist has used high contrast, high key colours depicting the blazing sunlight. He has used a variety of techniques which involve strokes, waves, nature and free flow of fresh movement.

Though, there are not from any specific landscape of any place there are more of an internal subconscious abstraction that allow us to feel the presence of bright flowers, sand and soil. Some depict gardens, water, trees with different aspects and others are figurative which involve human figures.

Using acrylic on canvas, Krishna presents several layers of bright and deep colours that reflect the resonance of nature in its unspoiled form. The Hyderabad-based artist Ciddula Krishna shared, “Most of the paintings on show are in cooler tones. They have different shades of blue, green, red and yellow colours.”

“Nature is everything for us. The day we learn to protect nature, we will be happy. These paintings are also a reflection of the happiness in my journey of being an artist,” he explains.
