When I see this painting, my mind starts reading things fast. Probably, because of its speedy lines, the overpowering black and carefree strokes. However, having so many thoughts in a few seconds it does not affect my mind to go crazy. The calm and soothing expressions of this figure handle the chaos in a viewer’s mind. This is what I like the most in this work whereby the artist Gurmeet Marwah has control over his figure and subject. He creates the controlled chaos in the viewer's mind directly conveying his subject of ‘Hear no evil’, one of the famous Gandhi thought. The heart in red tells you to be calm, hear good things, and make love and peace.
