The art exhibit captures the Indian traditions in abstraction drawing an onlooker to the beauty of the colors of the desert state and people. The highlights of the exhibit are the masterpieces of contemporary artworks in abstract form. This collection is a departure from her previous work which was largely realistic. This style gives her more leeway for imagination and expression as she says. These abstracts are largely based on live patterns of rural Rajasthan. They have been done predominantly in oils on canvas.
