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.
This diptych is typical of my style where the canvas invites you in to explore its mysterious depths. It is inspired by the beautiful vineyards at the foot of Nandi Hills , Bangalore. The painting is very textured and is full of light and shadows.
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.
