Working intuitively, Soumya Netrabile channels her subconscious to mining memories of walking through nature to create her paintings. Her canvases comprise atmospheric fields of majestic color. Forests of green, amber, and peach—occasional animals or figures appear—dwarfed by swirling flame-esque brushstrokes. Netrabile dissolves real space into lyrical abstraction, uncovering poetic and spiritual connections to landscape and the world surrounding us.
