THE wind

Bhutan Abstracto / 2013 - 2015

Drawing on his previous explorations into themes of life, death, transformation and regeneration, Mazal has composed a new series of paintings focusing on the colorful, billowing prayer flags of the Himalayan kingdom. More abstract and distilled than his previous work, some of the paintings comprise bold swaths of color into grid-like compositions. Mazal’s distinctive gestural style charges the canvases with movement and energy.
