โNamazโ
In โNamazโ Parmar beautifully captures the solemnity and reverence of prayer, depicting the act of Namaz as a sacred ritual performed in the sanctuary of the heart. Through evocative imagery, he portrays the intimacy between the worshipper and God, as fingers trace the rhythmic movements of prayer against the pristine canvas of a mosque.
โA Poem of Yellow Sadnessโ

Through vivid descriptions, he explores the interplay of color and emotion, reflecting on the profound impact of art on the human spirit.
โVan Gogh (1)โ
Parmarโs fascination with the lives of artists is further evident in his tributes to Vincent Van Gogh. In โVan Gogh (1)โ Parmar poignantly portrays the artistโs inner turmoil, juxtaposing the ethereal beauty of moonlight with the stark reality of Van Goghโs suffering. Through symbolic imagery, he captures the tragic fate of a tormented soul, whose artistic brilliance is overshadowed by personal anguish.
โVan Gogh (2)โ
Similarly, in โVan Gogh (2)โ Parmar delves into the enigmatic world of the artistโs imagination, portraying Van Gogh as a visionary who defies conventional norms and embraces the chaotic beauty of existence. Through vivid metaphors and striking imagery, Parmar celebrates Van Goghโs creative genius, depicting him as a fearless explorer of the human condition.
โThe Flask of the Poem Brokeโ
Parmarโs exploration of artistic expression extends beyond the realm of painting to encompass poetry itself. In โThe Flask of the Poem Brokeโ he reflects on the creative process and the challenges of capturing the ineffable essence of existence through words. Through poignant symbolism, he captures the fleeting nature of inspiration, lamenting the fragility of the artistic endeavor.
Parmarโs reflections
Finally, Parmarโs reflections on the works of painter Ram Kumar offer a nuanced exploration of the intersection between art and human experience. Through evocative descriptions, he portrays Kumarโs paintings as windows into the soul, revealing the innermost thoughts and emotions of the artist. Through his analysis, Parmar highlights the transformative power of art, which transcends linguistic and cultural barriers to evoke a universal sense of empathy and understanding.
