Prabha Shah’s Stones and Clouds (1993) is a poetic exploration of the dialogue between nature and abstraction. With delicate brushwork, Shah captures the tension between the solidity of stone and the fluidity of air. The surface of the painting, layered with soft ochres, muted greens and whites, is like watching the slow dissolving of form into atmosphere.

Oil on canvas, this piece shows Shah’s control and spontaneity. Her hand is both deliberate and organic, light and shadow dance across the composition. The layering of colour suggests movement in stillness – a meditation on permanence and transience where every mark feels deliberate and natural.

Beyond its beauty Stones and Clouds is the spiritual sensitivity that is Prabha Shah’s hallmark. Known for her contemplative approach to abstraction, Shah brings an emotional quietness to her work, inviting the viewer into a space of introspection. Here the boundary between the material and the metaphysical dissolves and the painting becomes not just an image but an experience – a gentle meeting of earth and sky, of weight and lightness.
