Scent of a Lotus is an immaculate mandala of a central lotus encircled by bees, painted with meticulous attention to composition, so as to make this print an image of boundless meditative energy. The colour palette, draws from natural pigments (indigo and madder) used extensively by the artist, notably in the classic Dawn diptych.
