Gulmohar Dreams Painting

This oil painting is inspired by one of my favorite artists' style, Peter Doig. It leaves the interpretation of the story open to viewers and reminds me of a surrealistic or fantasy scape. Where is the car on the highway headed to? Who's in it? Why are they dreaming about gulmohars? And what does the title Gulmohar Dreams imply? A contemporary, conceptual artwork, this has been created using oil paints on canvas, in a fairly realistic style. Thick paints have been used for the sky, and the grass has been painstakingly created stroke after stroke, aiming to achieve a similarity as well as the appearance of distance. I was so inspired by the title that floated into my consciousness that I decided to write a book around that idea. The book by the same title, Gulmohar Dreams, is my first "novel". It is a work of fiction but with insights inspired by a personal journey. Gulmohar Dreams is an epistolary novel that explores the spiritual journey of a young writer as she moves through unexpected personal changes that compel her to redefine the meaning of her life. Faced with the gut-wrenching changes, Kamia Mirchandani, or Mia as she is often called, goes through a process of analysis and healing, trying to make sense of it all, in the end to come out stronger, healed, and sorted. In an idyllic setting of a writer's retreat over a month's stay, the protagonist explores in depth her fears, her feelings, and her failures, in the end to successfully transmute pain into power, via a series of letters to the Universe. The story ends with Mia happy to be by herself, living with unconditional self-love, eagerly looking forward to living the life of her dreams.
