Familiar Presence

This artwork is part of a series called 'Companions and Witnesses'. The works in this series occupy a quieter and more intimate space within Paresh Hazra’s practice. Blending humour, companionship, and observation, these paintings explore the emotional subtleties of everyday life through recurring feline figures and human relationships. The cat becomes more than a domestic presence; it functions as a silent companion, witness, and observer of human behaviour. Set within contemplative interiors and personal spaces, the works balance playfulness with introspection, transforming ordinary moments into reflections on solitude, affection, memory, and coexistence. Through expressive line, layered colour, and subtle psychological tension, Paresh reveals the emotional depth hidden within familiar scenes and everyday rituals. This artwork measures 24 x 21 inches and the framed size is 38 x 35 inches.
