The exhibition features oil, acrylic and ink works by Ompal. Viewers are bound to be challenged while exploring the layers of his enigmatic  and reflective creations which unveil mystifying saga . Animate and engaging, Ompal’s paintings are for  people with verve in their heart.   His work can be best understood as a series of strokes that create a certain synthesis, a transient balance that always shift to accommodate the movement of diverse moods. The beauty of the whole depends on the harmony of the components  which comprise it.  Ompal’s  canvasses have central figure encircled by  faces and Godlike figures and synchronization  of these lends to  perfect aesthetic entity, making him stand out with his distinct signature style. He is more of a Magician than an Artist, transcending ordinary subjects into extraordinary universal symbols thereby mesmerizing one and all.  Ompal’s paintings astoundingly create the moment of amalgamation and allow the observer an insight into the Soul of his subject thus generating a divine feeling of eternal oneness. Om's works have gained increased following among Art Connoisseurs and Collectors from homeland and overseas both. Ompal concurrently whittles up and unites the composition, drawing our gaze into one spot and then escalating it to the whole. His works are like visual poetry- very fluid, rhythmic yet open to interpretation and elucidation. His range of form, color and scale is vast. His present series of Artworks reflects electric mix of serious concept, fancy and emotions. The present exhibition by Cosmo Arts (India) celebrates the creative exploration of the artist and gleams with his cosmic, enigmatic and visionary Art.
