“Sprinkling Fragrance” series is a deeply sensory body of work born from personal loss and quiet transformation. After temporarily losing his sense of smell during the pandemic, Raju began translating the invisible world of scent into layered, floral-inspired visual compositions. Each piece, whether a constellation of delicate petals or a garland resting on a pedestal, radiates atmosphere and emotion, evoking memory, absence, and renewal. With richly textured blues and intricate arrangements, his paintings are less about what we see and more about what we feel. Raju’s art invites viewers into a space where nostalgia, longing, and beauty unfold without words, asking us to pause, breathe, and remember.
