Hillside Retreat (2024)Oil painting
by Ajay Harit

The painting "Hillside Retreat" is my attempt to capture the serene beauty of a village nestled in the mountains. I was inspired by the simple, peaceful life of the people who live so close to nature's grandeur. The small houses with their warm red roofs are a testament to human resilience and the desire for comfort, even in the shadow of a towering, snow-capped peak. The winding stone pathway represents the journey of life, leading ever upward, while the lush green hillside symbolizes the vitality and abundance of the natural world. I wanted to create a sense of both awe and tranquility, inviting the viewer to imagine themselves walking that path and finding a quiet retreat from the world.
