For Mohanti painting is a form of meditation, and the efforts to control the paint’s flow can be likened to a person’s attempts to control their life. The universal symbol of the circle, a recurring form in his work, returns the artist to his childhood, when he was taught to practise the Hindu holy trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara as three circles. Although deeply rooted within the Indian landscape and Tantric culture, Mohanti translates these sources through the language of abstraction to produce paintings as transcendent as they are personal.
