A passion for music - Abstract painting by Asoka Kumara H, Colombo, Sri Lanka.

This abstract painting by Asoka Kumara H, at Green Path, Colombo, impressed me. I requested him to explain the theme, that he tried to portray, in this piece of abstract art. He said that love for music can equate in passion, the physical love for a lover. A female music lover and her 'Sitar', in their tight embrace in the painting he said, tried to convey this theme.
