The painter is somebody whose idea of reality borders on the Surreal. His Venus--- his life, his dreams, his passion all snowballed into one--somehow reminds you of the mythical Narcissus who was mermerised by his own image to the point where it drove him to death. Here the painter, the Creator is in love with his creation. Very much like Narcissus, he is in love with an extension of himself-- his spiritual self.
And now he is projecting that extension onto Anandi. He does not seem to realise the difference between a figment of imagination/ideals and a flesh-and-blood character.
How would he be disillusioned? And will he lose a large part of his incentive to live if he's deprived of the fantasy of Venus that is his sole emotional support?

May be...
I think its showing difference between Reality & Imagination

Venus doesn't exist its just Creation where Anandi is real person with real emotions

many Creator's are in love with their Creation but few becomes obsessed

through track it convey this only...

Agree.
Palash likes to live into his own world of illusion.. And right now he has found a thin link to connect the real world and his imagination. He will not realize that Anandi is a living person who has her own emotions, feelings and would try to drag her also in his imaginary world.
Whether it will destroy him at the end or not, that only time will tell. I think it is too early to predict that

Don't know whether he is Narcissus who fell in love with his own image or Pygmalion who fell in love with his own creation.
To me he feels like Pygmalion the sculptor who fell in love with his sculpture.Everything that artiste felt about beauty and love has taken the sculpture in case of Pygmalion and in case of Palash it has taken the form his painting Venus.
It will be a blow to him when he realises that Anandi though close to his Venus is no figment of his imagination but a real human being with feelings and thoughts and he can't just own her like he owns his painting.
I guess here Anandi and Shiv will step in they will help him realise that imagination and reality are different

I agree with you but I don't think he is Narcissus but he portrays a simlar behaviour... obsessed with his own creation . He's not able to differentiate between A and Venus .

Venus is a lifeless painting and A a human with emotions .

The character looks very interesting . His obsession towards his creation is portrayed well. He was unable to distinguish between illusion and reality. Lets see how viewers who r used to unrealistic twists and drama reacts to this unusual track

@TM very nice post ...😊 👏
I think Painter is not in love ...neither with Anandi nor with his own creation Venus...Its all about his Obsession...Love and affection is a very soft feelings which never become aggressive...some timse its Shy ...sometimes its bold ...but it always generate Happiness within the person ...But here the reaction of Palash is just like very aggressive...even he did not try to know Anandi ...he just saw her and realize that she looks alike his creation he just drag the conclusion that she is her venus nothing else...not even tried to know the inner self of Anandi too...wheather she is good or bad????

This is very intriguing a story indeed. If handled in a nuanced manner, it could be an interesting commentary on Psychology.
