The canvas keeps a ledger of my awareness. Where I hurry, it breaks. Where I listen, it lives.

Code may suggest, but only gesture can commit. The digital studio begins in light and ends in touch.

Representation explains; abstraction reveals. I work where seeing is not story but state.

In String Wave, Ritu Raj merges art with physics, building a wave from thousands of vibrating string paths shaped by a vortex-like field. The result is a luminous crest formed by the mathematics of motion itself.

The string is both instrument and interlocutor. It refuses perfection, and in that refusal, the work becomes human.

I don’t organize feelings; I allow their structure to reveal itself through proportion and pause.

The world paused—and in that pause, painting found me again. Silence was not absence; it was permission.

A painting, like a photon, exists only when it is seen. In the studio, observation becomes creation — the act that collapses infinite possibilities into one coherent truth. Every abstract work is a quantum field of potential, completed only by the gaze that meets it.
