Bhanu Achan was initially sent to India to study medicine, where he began to delve further into the teachings of Hinduism, yoga, dharma and karma. His career has spanned for about forty years and his artworks have been part of the National Art Gallery’s collection. With big, purposeful and insistent brush strokes, he incorporates his thoughts and emotions into his paintings. A lover of nature, Bhanu draws inspiration from it. The title of the painting is perhaps an indication of the artist’s ode to the evening sky and how beautiful silhouettes form during this hour.
