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.
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.
Color is the silent language through which I create my narratives. I use colours to evoke emotions, set moods, and create visual impact. My art is a representation of joy, Hope, timeless beauty and resilience. It is a visual narratives of the complex relationship between humanity and nature.
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.
