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.
This diptych portrays the Shivalingam tree with its divine brightly coloured flowers. These flowers with its unique design have always fascinated me and I wanted to capture the beauty of this unusual tree in all its splendour. The canvas is very textured and is full of light , colours and joy.
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.
