“Cartouche” is a compelling visual meditation on identity, ancestry, and the continuity of human expression. In this artwork, Gautam Mazumdar centers the composition around a radiant figure marked by a bold spiral — an ancient emblem of life, energy, and spiritual evolution.
Flanking the central form are two striking profiles, rendered with intricate rhythmic line work. Their faces echo motifs drawn from African, Egyptian, and tribal visual traditions, while hieroglyph-like inscriptions add layers of cultural memory and symbolic depth.
Mazumdar’s warm earthy palette — dominated by golds, ochres, and blacks — creates a sense of ritual and reverence. Through the interplay of patterns, color, and form, “Cartouche” becomes a dialogue between the individual and the collective, transforming ancient symbolism into a modern expression of shared heritage.
