Sanatan Dinda - Artwork 397

A luminous pastel portrait of a female figure crowned with a halo of floral, leaf-like strokes that blend pinks, oranges and deep violets into a radiant wreath around the head. The artist employs layered, stippled textures and soft transitions of color to create a dreamlike presence, the sitter's face poised between realism and impression, with a delicate, symmetrical third-eye motif on the brow. The piece balances controlled detail in the eyes and mouth with loose, expressive marks that suggest hair and foliage, producing an effect both intimate and otherworldly.

Within its crisp mat and frame the work reads as a contemporary meditation on beauty and mysticism, where pastel media and confident draftsmanship create a shimmering, emotive portrait.
