Divine Love
Ajay Samir
Jay Samir is an early recipient of the All India National Award from AIFACS. His work blends traditional and modern styles to create strong visual stories. He often uses iconic figures, combining black-and-white with bright colors. His art reflects themes of human experience, women’s sensitivity, and nature’s beauty. Detailed textures and patterns add depth to his narrative style.
Description
'Divine Love' by Ajay Samir unfolds in delicate layers of line and light. The work, created with pen, ink and acrylic on acid-free paper, draws the viewer into an intimate stillness. Against a glowing red background, two figures emerge through an intricate web of cross-hatched lines, their faces soft and calm. One holds two flowers close, eyes closed, while the other figure leans inward, both connected by quiet tenderness. Every line feels intentional, shaping a serene world where love is felt rather than declared.
Why This Artwork Stands Out:
- The artist’s masterful control of ink and acrylic brings texture and emotion into perfect balance.
- The fine, overlapping lines create a sense of depth that feels both architectural and dreamlike.
- The limited palette of black, white and red heightens the work’s quiet intensity.
- The interplay of human forms with birds, moons and abstract shapes suggests love as part of a larger rhythm of life.
