SOUL ART By Letchmy Ganapathy

KM Eternal Love 1

This painting beautifully captures a tranquil rural moment set in a lush forest path. At the center, a woman dressed in a yellow sari is seen walking away, balancing a bundle—possibly of firewood or foliage—on her head. The artist uses expressive palette knife strokes and a warm, impressionistic palette to convey texture, light, and movement.

The background glows with radiant yellows, suggesting sunlight filtering through dense foliage, creating a sense of warmth and serenity. The forest is painted in rich earthy tones—browns, greens, and hints of crimson—giving life to the natural surroundings. The pathway, winding gently through the forest, adds depth and leads the viewer’s gaze toward the woman, emphasising her quiet resilience and daily rhythm.

Symbolically, the painting reflects the harmony between human life and nature. The woman, bathed in golden light, appears both part of the landscape and illuminated by it—a metaphor for endurance, simplicity, and grace in everyday life.
