Who paints leaves? Isn't it a very easy job to paint leaves? In my opinion, only a person with deep philosophy can paint a minimal object. I think the more the simpler object, the greater the philosophy. Considering it, I think Shri Mirza, the artist, would have undergone a lot of philosophical difficulties and must have 'unlearned' what he has learned to reach here. The layers of colours in the background create a foundation for the leaves to create an impression on the viewer's mind. Though the real hero is the leaf but the actual work to enhance the hero is that of the supporting actor which here is the 'layered and tonal background'. The repetition of leaves gives me a sense of Japa, meditating with the artwork.
