Krishna Sawari is a vibrant and richly detailed artwork that presents a captivating portrayal of a central female figure, whose serene presence evokes the aura of a deity or mythical persona. Seated gracefully upon a stylized boat shaped like a large bird, likely a duck or goose, the figure becomes the focal point of a composition teeming with symbolic motifs and intricate ornamentation.
Her attire is lavishly adorned with an array of stylized foliage, feathers, and intricate patterns rendered in a bold palette of greens, golds, browns, and reds. The elaborate headdress, resplendent with nature-inspired elements, crowns her with an air of divine regality. The boat itself echoes this ornamental richness, its body covered with detailed plumage patterns and populated with smaller figures that might represent attendants or followers, enhancing the narrative depth of the scene.
The vessel drifts upon a rippling body of water, punctuated by stylized lotus flowers, symbols of purity and spiritual awakening. This aquatic setting adds a tranquil rhythm to the composition, balancing the intricate density of the decorative elements. Above and around the figure, a lush canopy of foliage frames her head, creating a natural halo that further emphasizes her centrality and sanctity. The background landscape unfolds with stylized trees and softly layered mountain ranges in harmonious shades of green and brown. This layering lends a sense of depth and perspective while maintaining a cohesive stylistic unity with the foreground elements. The overall aesthetic suggests a fusion of traditional Indian or broader Asian artistic influences, blending folk and classical visual languages to create a timeless and evocative tableau.
The bold and contrasting color scheme reinforces the artwork’s striking visual impact, inviting viewers to engage with its narrative complexity and ornamental beauty. Through meticulous detailing and symbolic richness, Krishna Sawari not only honors cultural heritage but also reimagines mythic storytelling in a contemporary, expressive manner. This artwork offers a contemplative journey into the intersection of mythology, nature, and human devotion, masterfully articulated through vibrant color, intricate patterning, and a harmonious composition that resonates with both tradition and innovation.
Why Choose Us
Art has always, naturally, reflected the development and exploration of different thoughts and perceptions, and our current postmodern era is no different. It is interesting to see how art has evolved visually, yet the traditional methods of composing art remain a valid means of expression.
All it takes for an artist to rise above normalcy, is inspiration, which fuels his passion to paint beautiful creations throughout his life.
The valuable expression of art is always there with us, but now this expression is yet to take an interesting diversion with our art gallery, Gallery Silver Scapes, located in Hauz Khas Enclave. Art is no longer considered just decorative but has evolved and come forth as a major form of investment yielding high rates of returns for its buyers, making it an expression commonly used.
Mrs Mayor was walked into the art world by the legendary modernist Bimal Das Gupta, one of whose biggest collections remains with Gallery Silver Scapes.

Besides modern masters, she also worked with young contemporaries such as Sudip Roy, Paresh Maity, Subroto Kundu, Vinod Sharma, and many more.
