Formal Elements
The lines in the painting are neither sharp nor blurry; it is kind of stable. The shapes of the objects are not geometric but are organic. There are no patterns and textures. The shapes are neither complex nor simple, they are harmonized. Well one can say that the texture involved in this painting might be plain; but on seeing it closely it shows realism. The scale is naturalistic i.e. they do not seem to be larger or smaller than usual. This work is one of the kinds and it is not in series. There is no sort of abstractions in this portrait of “glow of hope”.

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or elements:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“Our institutions have a potent digestion, and may in time convert and assimilate to good all elements thrown in, however originally alien.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
