Tabla Padi

A meditative homage to rhythm and ritual, this circular artwork draws inspiration from the tabla padi—the resonant drumhead of India’s classical percussion tradition.
 
Center Focus: A deep black circle anchors the piece, evoking the weighted center of a tabla drum and creating visual depth.
Concentric Rings: Radiating outward are finely detailed rings of dot work in white, beige, and rich earth tones. Each ring is meticulously crafted, forming a mandala-like pattern that echoes sound waves and rhythmic repetition.
Color Palette: An elegant spectrum of blacks, whites, and layered browns—from soft beige to dark sepia—gives the piece a grounded, organic quality.
Tactile Texture: Created entirely using a raised dot technique, the surface offers both visual rhythm and physical texture, adding dimension and shadow as the light shifts.
 
This piece blends musical inspiration with spiritual symmetry, perfect for collectors drawn to traditional Indian forms, minimalist palettes, or meditative design.
