Thank you for missing me! It warms the heart.
I loved the video of the Artist (and assistant) in the studio, as well as the painting itself. I must, however, respectfully disagree with the interpretation presented thus far. Hesitating slightly to speak for the artist, and admittedly allowing for some possible misunderstanding owing to the cultural differences between Nila and myself, I must suggest this is actually a painting of his joy and fulfillment in life under the influence of his nurturing family.
The red bird in flight at the upper left represents Nila's triumph and is the focus of this painting. It is presented in stop action format which literally illustrates his rapid upward movement beyond the normal green bird to the right, whose less dramatic advancement is also shown in stop action. The green bird represents Nila's alternate possible accomplishments, had he lived a different life under different circumstance. The red pennant carried by the wing of the triumphant Nila bird symbolizes his self-competitive achievement as he flies past the ochre cloud of limitation which may potentially overshadow any endeavor, including that of the green alternate Nila bird. It is a celebratory work which acknowledges the variance of possible life paths and also looks to the future as the red bird is clearly in a powerful and dramatic ascent.
I look forward to future achievements by this fine and expressive artist.
