“Her skillful handling of colour comes to the fore in her rendering of efflorescence as can be glimpsed in her paintings from the 1990s. Her technique of employing oil paint as she would watercolours impart a delicate feel to these works. Impressionist tendencies too can be spotted in the daubs of paint and her adroit harnessing of light. As ethereal forms arise, melt and dissolve they evoke transient, ephemeral sensations. The play of hide-and-seek in these artworks that border on abstraction was certainly intentional. As Kaul herself mentioned, "I believe in the art of suggestion; in the artist's need to veil as much as reveal."
