The storyteller portrays eternal love through his canvasses. While at times the female is depicted through the primal muse, Radharani, in the other she is Mother Nature personified. The woman who inherits, the woman who nurtures and the woman who gives and teaches love.
The man in the frame comes into play in the form of Lord Krishna. Although considered as the Supreme Celestial, he adorns the painting as a notorious cowherd, a majestic flute player and a passionate lover.
The unsaid words and endearing demeanour are stitched together through the themes of devotion and adoration, effectively unfolding the impression of ‘Purush’ and ‘Prakriti’.
The subtle colours and soft hues fabricate a surreal ambience that teleports the beholder in an unexplored world.
