The Curve That Remains – Original Dry Pastel Painting by Saikat Mondal

A field in motion, a memory in color — framed and ready for the walls that hold your quietest hours.

In this original dry pastel work, Saikat Mondal offers a landscape not as it looks, but as it is remembered. The path curves through a field of luminous greens and violets, its surface alive with brushlike strokes — the wind almost visible. Trees lean like figures mid-conversation, and in the distance, a soft purple ridge fades into an unseen river or memory.

Executed in dry pastel on paper, this piece is part of Saikat’s ongoing exploration of rural memory and emotional geography. The colors shimmer between realism and abstraction, with sudden gestures of pink, blue, and ochre that disrupt and deepen the mood.

Framed in polished wood with an acrylic sheet, this painting is suitable for living rooms, studies, reading corners, or personal spaces that hold silence and reflection. More than décor, it invites presence.
