Keladi reflects Rafiee’s enduring fascination with the organic forms and rich foliage of the tropical landscape. Rather than offering a literal depiction of the plant, the composition transforms the broad, sculptural leaves of the keladi into a rhythmic interplay of colour, texture, and gestural movement. Richly layered with vibrant hues and energetic brushstrokes, the work conveys both the vitality and serenity of nature, exemplifying the lyrical abstraction that has become a hallmark of Rafiee Ghani’s celebrated oeuvre.
