When Mahua started painting the landscape for the first time in the 1950s, it was certain that he sought much more in the piece than a mere aesthetic exercise. A personal meditation plays out on the canvas and Mahua's desire to universalise a personal and intimate relationship with the Earth is evident.
“The landscape as a multidimensional symbolic motif was itself to interest Mahua deeply."
The bushes are not considered as static structures, amenable merely to posture and style. Instead, they are painted as sensuous and pulsating creatures, each alive and distinct in its own right.
