Petrichor -80

Petrichor-80 radiates the feeling of earth coming alive after rain. Ganesh Doddamani layers luminous strokes of emerald, violet, turquoise, and flame-red against a rising field of gold and soft sky-blue, evoking the moment sunlight breaks through a clearing storm. The composition is both structured and spontaneous—blocks and ribbons of colour tumble like reflections on wet ground, while the glowing centre draws the eye upward in renewal. True to its title, the work captures that elusive scent of new beginnings, inviting viewers to pause, breathe, and feel the quiet optimism of nature’s cycle translated into abstract form.
