Acrylic and Modeling Paste on Canvas (Gloss Varnished)

Size: 36 x 24 x 1.5 inches

Thank You for Coming delves into the primal origins of humankind, exploring the tension between creation and chaos. The dark ancestral form at the center symbolizes the first spark of human existence—raw, instinctive, unburdened. Yet, with the evolution of the brain came disorder, thought, and suffering.

The crimson palette pulses with both vitality and exhaustion, capturing the emotional weight of modern existence. The thorn-like patterns represent the quiet agony of those who now live surrounded by pain rather than purpose. Through layered textures and sculptural strokes of modeling paste, the work bridges the ancient and the contemporary—where evolution itself becomes both a triumph and a curse.

Thank You for Coming

The Constant stands for the one presence that never changes. Whatever you strive for, you will eventually have to face the dark and live with it. Layered textures and rising forms reveal darkness as both the origin and the enduring state beneath all creation.

The Constant

The crawling forms are minds in motion — damaged, restless, and reaching. Each struggles upward through the weight of its own thoughts. The one that reaches the light isn’t the smartest, just the one that finally understood that peace comes from thinking less, not more. The glowing gold above isn’t heaven, it’s clarity — a space earned by moderation. This work reflects how overthinking burns us, but controlled thought reveals the light we’ve been chasing all along.

The Ones Who Knew When to Stop

The Silent Witness captures the stillness that lingers after violence — the unspoken gaze that absorbs chaos without resistance. The swirling pigments of red, blue, and violet collide around a single yellow eye, creating a tension between awareness and paralysis. The work reflects on how silence can be both survival and surrender, a presence that endures even when language fails

The Silent Witness

Voyage in Dusk exists between abstraction and symbolism — a composition where movement becomes metaphor. The work draws from abstract expressionism’s intensity yet leans into conceptual quiet: a vessel crossing the uncertain, guided only by instinct and flickers of light.  
  
It reflects a broader exploration of endurance, transition, and the psychology of becoming — the universal tension between motion and stillness, clarity and chaos.

Voyage in Dusk

Rough Spectrum is an eruption — a painting that refuses to sit still. It expands beyond its frame, where pigments collide in full force and color becomes a language of defiance. The surface is raw, layered, and uneven — a psychological terrain of energy that resists control.  
  
Reds and ochres blaze like open wounds, blues and greens brood in shadow, while whites cut through like lightning — flashes of clarity that never last. Each hue pushes against the next, creating a rhythm of friction and survival. Nothing is softened; everything is scraped, dragged, and fought for.  
  
Thick ridges of paint rise like scars, marking the persistence of creation — a record of struggle, doubt, and defiance. Beneath the chaos lies a strange harmony, a balance born not of calm but collision.  
  
Rough Spectrum is less about color and more about permission — to exist without coherence, to be fragmented yet whole, to find beauty in the rough edges of experience.

Rough Spectrum

_Eye Have Seen_ confronts the act of perception itself — the point where witnessing becomes both revelation and burden. Built through dense layers of acrylic and movement, the work captures the violence of awareness and the intimacy of exposure. The central vortex blurs the line between vision and memory, suggesting that to truly see is to be marked by what we encounter. It reflects on how understanding often arrives with discomfort, turning the gaze inward until the observer becomes the observed.

Eye Have Seen

Chaos in Bloom explores the strange harmony that arises when disorder meets creation. The painting feels like an explosion mid-breath — splashes of gold, white, and blue tearing through a dark, moody field. Every streak and splatter seems accidental yet deliberate, like the universe testing the limits of control.  
  
The work speaks of growth that isn’t gentle — it’s aggressive, unpredictable, and alive. The golden bursts resemble both light breaking through and flowers forcing their way out of the dirt. There’s no symmetry or calm here, but there is a rhythm — the kind nature follows when it doesn’t care about perfection.  
  
Underneath the surface chaos lies something deeply organic: renewal. The darkness doesn’t swallow the color; it feeds it. The painting becomes a metaphor for the way new life and meaning often emerge from disorder, heartbreak, or collapse. It’s beauty blooming from the wreckage.

Chaos in Bloom

A figure dissolves into a storm of crimson and ochre, caught between longing and indifference. The composition trembles with the raw ache of human need—the small, humiliating hunger for validation. In this world of rehearsed emotions, the seeker bends toward the unresponsive idol, a puppet carved from apathy. The splattered reds become questions that never receive answers.

Would You Praise Me

A restless bloom spirals within the mind’s private garden. The curls and coils pulse like thoughts in early thaw—half fever, half awakening. Beneath the pinks and ambers, a quiet tension hums, the mind rehearsing rebirth before the world has even asked for it. It’s both claustrophobic and tender, an inner spring that refuses to wait for permission.

Spring in My Head

A bruise turned into a landscape. Violet threads ripple like muscle fibers remembering tension, stitched together by a quiet insistence on healing. The surface breathes between beauty and decay, that fine edge where softness begins to break. It’s an anatomy of surrender—one that doesn’t seek redemption, only recognition.

Soft Collapse

Cold Bloom is about endurance — the idea that even in the deepest cold, life finds a way to emerge. Layers of blue acrylic form an abstract landscape where stillness hides motion, and restraint hides strength. The composition builds slowly, like a bloom under frost, suggesting that beauty isn’t the opposite of hardship but born from it.  
  
Painted on premium archival canvas, it’s a meditation on persistence and quiet transformation — a piece that shifts subtly with light, reminding that even in cold, there’s the possibility to bloom.

Cold Bloom

A storm of color and motion unfolds across the canvas, where serpentine forms twist and surge toward an unseen presence. Every hue carries its own intent — some deceptive, some divine — merging beauty with quiet menace. Beneath the chaos lies a truth: you are never free of what surrounds you, only momentarily unaware of its movement.

Part of Hansa Sethi’s exploration of unseen tension and psychological landscapes.

The Quiet Swarm

Chromatic Mind captures the intricate landscape of human thought through a dynamic play of color, movement, and texture. This work visualizes the brain as an ever-evolving field of energy—where emotions, memories, and ideas intertwine in constant motion. The fluid strokes and layered hues suggest neural pathways pulsing with life, translating invisible vibrations of the mind into a tangible visual rhythm.  
  
The painting’s chromatic intensity invites prolonged viewing; its dense composition shifts with light, revealing subtle transitions and new connections each time it’s seen. The work resonates with both emotional depth and cerebral complexity, appealing to collectors drawn to abstraction that bridges science, psychology, and pure sensory experience.  
  
A statement piece, Chromatic Mind celebrates the beauty within mental chaos—where every color becomes a frequency and every form a fragment of consciousness in motion.

Chromatic Mind

I Have Grown is a psychological landscape — a visual meditation on endurance and transformation. The work evokes the image of neurons or roots navigating through darkness, symbolizing the mind’s quiet evolution through pain. Heavy textural layers, gestural black forms, and restrained whites converge to create a sense of movement that is both chaotic and deliberate.  
  
This painting belongs to the artist’s ongoing exploration of human resilience — how growth often occurs not in light, but within the tension of surviving one’s own shadows. The result is a work that feels raw yet composed, visceral yet meditative.  
  
Executed on professional-grade stretched cotton canvas with archival materials and finished with gloss varnish for longevity.

I Have Grown

Waves of the Mind explores the rhythm and volatility of thought — the invisible pulse that shapes perception. Vibrant motion, layered pigment, and undulating lines echo the oscillation of brain waves as they shift between chaos and clarity. The painting captures the constant flicker of consciousness: restless, radiant, and alive.  
  
Executed with artist-grade materials on stretched cotton canvas and sealed with archival varnish for longevity.

In What Grew Darker, Hansa Sethi reflects on the way perception shifts over time. The painting opens with luminous, energetic color — a symbol of childhood’s unfiltered wonder — then deepens into darker tones that suggest the layered weight of experience. A subtle black line connects these realms, a visual thread between innocence and understanding.  
  
Through expressive texture and controlled chaos, Sethi captures the passage from brightness to depth — not as loss, but as evolution. The work speaks to memory, growth, and the quiet transformation that defines maturity.

What Grew Darker

Acrylic and mixed media (modeling paste) on canvas  
  
This work confronts the suffocating grip of societal control — how norms, expectations, and silent judgments bind individuality. Layered textures and fractured forms reflect the psychological weight of being silenced. Thick modeling paste builds tangible barriers across the surface, embodying the invisible walls that dictate who we may be, what we may say, and how high we are allowed to rise.  
  
Colors clash instead of blend, echoing rebellion within restraint — a cry for authenticity in a world that fears it. Let Me Breathe becomes both plea and defiance: the urgent demand to break free from conformity and reclaim one’s own voice.

In Wide Awake, Hansa Sethi confronts the exhaustion of perpetual consciousness — the emotional violence of being unable to rest, even in sleep. The work visualizes the body’s breaking point: veins stretch, blood drains to a diluted pink, and the eye remains open against its will.  
  
Through layered acrylic and thick modeling paste, Sethi constructs a surface that feels tense, raw, and almost breathing. The gloss varnish intensifies the physicality of the paint, amplifying each drip and fissure like preserved wounds.  
  
This piece examines vigilance as both armor and affliction — the cost of constant survival in an unforgiving environment. Wide Awake stands as one of Sethi’s most psychologically charged works, balancing fragility and defiance with unsettling precision.

This work portrays a protector — a higher being who takes on pain to shield others. The “dagger” symbolizes the weight of suffering willingly carried, not inflicted. The fan-like form over the figure’s head recalls ancient tribal adornments, representing ancestral power and the spirit of guardianship. It is an image of endurance — of someone who stands between harm and the ones they protect.

Put the Dagger on Me

A solitary face looks toward a barren island beneath a muted sun — a symbol of emptiness and acceptance. There is no promise of renewal here, only the quiet acknowledgment of survival. Begin Again captures the fragile moment after loss, when there is nothing left to rebuild from, yet the act of continuing itself becomes sacred. It speaks to the stillness between endings and beginnings — the calm of surrender before motion returns.

Begin Again

A serpent coils protectively, shielding the figure within from the chaos outside. The snake here is not danger — it is defense. It represents the face we wear, the mask we build, to survive among those who might harm us. You Are Not Allowed speaks of guarded strength and quiet endurance — the instinct to protect the self by any means, even through transformation. Beneath its surface tension lies a truth of survival: sometimes protection looks like something fierce.

You Are Not Allowed

Acrylic on canvas, 90 × 60 × 4 cm, 2025  
  
The tree stands as a false guardian — radiant and calm, yet quietly feeding on what it claims to protect. The yellow light, symbolizing life and energy, is drawn inward by the tree and diffused into cold blue, leaving emptiness behind. Behind You explores the subtle violence of trust misplaced — how even what shelters you can consume you. It is both beautiful and cruel, a portrait of betrayal disguised as care.

Behind You

A dialogue between darkness and the remnants of brilliance, Auric Memory captures the instant where form dissolves but essence refuses to fade. The gold lines pulse like living veins—entangled, restless, almost sentient—etching traces of memory across a void that consumes everything else.  
  
This work isn’t about perfection or control; it’s about endurance. When thought, identity, and structure collapse, what remains is a luminous residue — defiant and alive. It drifts between chaos and clarity, like a dream you can’t quite wake from — haunting, warm, and charged with the afterglow of something once divine.

Find Yourself is less about discovery than confrontation — a moment of standing inside your own silence. The layered surface, both obscured and exposed, mirrors the process of searching for identity amid distortion. Within its textures, fragments of color emerge like thoughts breaking through fog, suggesting that finding yourself isn’t revelation but recognition — an acceptance of what was always there.  
  
The painting invites reflection without offering comfort. It feels alive, patient, and unrelenting — a mirror to the self that refuses to answer, only to ask again.

Find Yourself

Acrylic and modeling paste on canvas  
  
Not Anymore captures the moment when restraint breaks — when the quiet self punches through its own darkness. The white form strikes the dense blue core, and from that impact bursts a storm of color: red, yellow, green — fragments of identity long suppressed.  
  
The use of modeling paste gives the surface a sculptural force, turning each brushstroke into a mark of resistance. It’s not chaos; it’s awakening. This work embodies the courage to rupture the familiar and rediscover the color that was always within.  
  
The title is both confession and defiance — a simple, final line between who you were and who you refuse to be again.
