‘Goddess’ yet another series of paintings consist of very subtle moods of women, these works are most introspective and have more to do with the inner dialogue within a women and her constant conflict with outer self. The colours in this series are more subtle and stark with sepia and shades of black and grey on white background. Minimal elements and fine textures have given the collection an almost charcoal drawing like affect to the oil paintings.
