Sayed Haider Raza (1922-2016) Panch Tatva signed 'AP' lower left, titled 'Panch Tatva' centre and titled 'Raza 07' lower right serigraph on paper 101.6 x 187.96cm (40 x 74in). Footnotes: Provenance Property from a private collection, UK. Colour, geometry, and repetition form the core of Raza's visual language. Serigraphy became an extension of this practice, allowing him to layer intense, saturated colours with precision while exploring the rhythm and balance of geometric forms. Rather than merely reproducing his paintings, the process itself became a means of investigating colour, form, repetition, and spirituality. Panch Tatva refers to the five fundamental elements of life - Bhoomi (earth), Jala (water), Agni (fire), Vayu (air), and Akasha (sky), represented here through black, blue, red, yellow, and white. In this work Raza uses the central black bindu to symbolise the concentration of energy and creation, while the four surrounding sections of the work represent the five elements and their harmonious balance. The left panel embodies Prakriti, or the feminine principle, through an inverted triangle symbolising the emergence of life, accompanied by red and black bindus representing the union of masculine and feminine energies. The right panel represents Purusha, or the masculine principle, through an elongated bindu containing five coloured bindus. Each signifies one of the five elements as a complete and balanced entity.
