Amber of Strings by Avyukt Ohri
A violin rises from the canvas, its curved body glowing in copper, amber and burnt orange. The background is a deep purple-black, so the instrument appears to be lit from within, like a lantern. Its strings and neck are suggested with a few confident lines, and the soundhole is a dark accent.
Around the violin, splatters, drips and flecks of orange and gold float like notes released into the air. They give the painting a feeling of sound and movement, as though the music has just begun to play.
The piece turns an everyday object into a symbol of warmth and expression. It is small in scale but full of feeling, and it would suit a music room, a study or any space that welcomes a touch of melody.
