Painting inspired by a 10th century Chola bronze belonging to Svetaranyeswara temple. Sculpture gifted to the temple by Raja Raja Chola. Current location of original bronze – Tanjore Palace Museum. A humble attempt to bring awareness to our Heritage.
This painting shows that even in waste , in scrap , in what is discarded, life and beauty will always find a way . In a way it reflects my innocent childlike belief in the victory of good over evil, in the enduring power of beauty and positivity. I have painted motifs of botanical art […]
When life gets monotonous and monochromatic don’t get used to it. For things of colour are always concealed like a lotus in an overgrown pond. The artist urges to find our colour and break the monotony.
I observed during my visits to riverbanks and seashores, where fisherwomen work with equal effort as fishermen, yet live joyfully like queens — hence the crown. The painting portrays the strength and resilience of a woman whose life is deeply interwoven with fishing.
“Life of Fisherman” is about a fisherman and his wife resting together after a long day’s toil, sharing a quiet smoke under the dark night. Their weary yet intimate faces, drawn in rustic grunge strokes and textured forms, evoke resilience, companionship, and the silent poetry of labor entwined with love.
