Painter Radha Parthasarathy, is a professor at Government College of Fine Arts, Kumbakonam. Her set of paintings called the “Drifting Hues” series, symbolises the flow of life through an aerial view of the shore landscape with boats dispersed to portray life. For her, the boats depict the uncertainty of life. She correlates it with the way her life flows – completely uncertain yet beautiful. There is a sense of calmness that makes the deep silence resonate from within. The aerial view helps us admire the beauty of life from afar with different colours.
