Naqsh's Untitled (Khajuraho Cave Series) is a captivating homage to the rich sculptural heritage of the Khajuraho temples, known for their intricate carvings and sensuous depictions of the human form. In this series, Naqsh masterfully reinterprets the iconic motifs of Khajuraho, blending his signature minimalist, abstract style with the evocative sensuality of the temple sculptures. Through the Khajuraho's Cave Series, Naqsh creates a bridge between ancient Indian aesthetics and contemporary abstraction, celebrating the timeless beauty of form and emotion.
