I have painted this famous Krishna sculpture of the Belur temple, Karnataka on sand with acrylics. This method gives a three dimensional look to the painting.
A picture of the religious place Banaras is shown on the banks of the river ganga. Temples along a ghat are beautifully painted in red ,yellow, orange and blue boats on the banks at the ganga are also painted in blue.
When I visit villages along riverbanks or sea shores, I observe the concentration of a fisherman in his daily routine with fishing, fish, and boat. They work hard, yet find joy in it. An essence I wanted to capture with earth colors on paper.
Painting inspired by a 11th Century Chola Bronze, Year – 2018, Current location of the original Sculpture – Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A humble attempt to bring awareness to our Heritage.
