What is the first word that comes to your mind while looking at this work? Delicacy? From the use of colours, subject, figure to expression everything is cute. Not many paintings look cute. This work proves that not every painting needs to be bold or have strong colours to attract the viewer. What is important is how you portray your subject in order to convey your message. The tones of blue in the background and tones of red makes perfect harmony with the balanced use of watercolour technique. The emotion of this little innocent girl makes you feel for her. I would collect this work simply by going in for her facial expression. The figure does not look like a cartoonish character or a caricature and that is the strong point of the artist Neema Vaghela that she is able to retain its value of contemporary artwork.
