This painting portrays a traditional bronze bell suspended against a bold red background. The detailed texture of the metal contrasts beautifully with the twisted blue rope, symbolizing devotion and cultural heritage. Its shadow on the wall adds depth, while the composition evokes spirituality, stillness, and the timeless resonance of sacred sound.
I have painted this sculpture of the famous Belur temple, Karnataka, using sand with acrylics to give it a three dimensional look.
A calf is shown in a green field at night. The influence of miniature painting in this picture has been taken from the painting of Akbar period.
“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.
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.
