About This Artwork

Hyderabad Rocks is about finding moments of peace, beauty, and reflection amidst constant change. Surrounded by flowers, butterflies, and her playful cats, a woman sits among a few cherished boulders, creating a space where nature and memory endure. The painting is inspired by my lifelong love for Hyderabad’s ancient granite formations—extraordinary natural sculptures that once defined the city’s skyline and filled its sunsets with wonder. As Hyderabad continues to evolve into a vibrant cosmopolitan city, these timeless rocks remain a quiet reminder of her unique spirit.

About the Artist

Vallery Puri

Vallery is an artist whose creative journey began in early childhood and evolved into a professional practice in 1996. A self-taught painter, she has spent three decades developing a distinctive visual language inspired by personal experiences, nature, and the impact of human choices on the environment. Her work often explores themes of urbanisation, disappearing forests, and transformation. Vallery Puri is a contemporary, self-taught artist with over thirty years of painting experience. Working primarily in oils, she creates expressive works rooted in Post-Impressionist colour and emotion. Her subjects — faces, figures, flowers, forests and familiar interiors — reveal a deep sensitivity to light, stillness, and human connection. Known for her delicate layering technique and evocative use of colour, Vallery explores how emotion can live quietly within form and texture, a contemplative space where melancholy and vibrancy, silence and joy, coexist in harmony.
