The featured work “Engrossed” is a watercolor painting from Aparna’s student days, executed as a copy work during her learning period. The painting captures the quiet contemplation of a young boy facing a wall—his posture and the stillness of the moment invoking a mood of reflection or quiet discipline. The sensitivity with which the figure is rendered, especially in the soft folds of the shirt and the gentle blending of colors, reveals Aparna’s early command over watercolor as a medium.
This artwork not only reflects her technical skill but also her ability to convey emotion through minimalistic settings, something that continues to define her artistic voice today.
