The first cause by Kota Neelima

INDIA---The Hindu philosophy of karma and the first cause of creation as a series of acts is the concept that journalist-artist Kota Neelima attempted to portray through paintings in a recent exhibition in New Delhi. The paintings, displayed at the Visual Art Gallery, India Habitat Centre, till this past week, revolved around the theme, ‘The First Cause’, and evoked ideas through images reflective of time, space and nature. A total of 42 paintings explored the first nature, the first choice and change, the first rain and sun, and the first day of Creation. Her impressionist-abstract renderings in a soft subtle palette seemed to reply the concept of panch tatva. [link]
