About This Artwork

Towering I was inspired by a sense of awe and gratitude. A cluster of ancient boulders, spared from destruction by their association with a place of worship, stands quietly amid a rapidly changing skyline. As towers rise ever higher and fill the horizon, they evoke a humbling awareness of our own smallness within a vast, living universe. The painting reflects a moment of awakening—an honest recognition of our small place within the immensity of time, nature, and existence. While these towers will one day fade, the ancient rocks will continue their silent vigil through time.

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.
