RAM KUMAR

Acrylic on canvas (54 x 36 inches)

This evocative Banaras cityscape by Ram Kumar reflects the artist’s deep, lifelong engagement with the spiritual and architectural essence of the ancient city. The composition is built through interlocking geometric forms, steps, temples, houses, and riverbanks, arranged in a carefully balanced, almost meditative structure.

Muted earth tones, soft blues, and subtle textural layering convey a sense of timelessness and quiet introspection. Rather than depicting Banaras as a bustling city, Ram Kumar distills it into an inner landscape, where space, memory, and emotion converge. The work exemplifies his mature style, standing at the intersection of abstraction and place, and affirming his position as one of the most contemplative voices of Indian modernism.
