Muted Musings weaves a serious contemplative mood in its bespoke conscious play of colors and illustrations--something that induces one to look long and hard at a blank canvas while germinating a fertile imagination or a fragile emotion of the youth of today. These young and abled artists may be a fresh start in this convoluted artistic realm although considered millennial yet they have already been noted for their promising visual language and new approaches to the painterly discipline.

Familiar with this evoked ambiance an artist creates in silence despite the many prevalent distractions in modern living--in order to enter the zone of their distinct artistic process. Realizing upfront this unamplified setting—a necessity in fact—Muted Musings is a testament to this unfettered condition when an artist is in his element as he longs for solitary existence during this ongoing pandemic.
