Shakti Swaroop !










I have painted durga shakti in many forms. This subject gives me immense pleasure. Shaki is power and every one likes to worship the powerful to stop destruction on this earth.   She is worshiped to gain victory over evil.

Durga, is now known world over. Now with internet connections and Indians trotting all the continents  Ma Durga is also going places and being worshiped in all the parts of the world.
Last year we had the pleasure to see Ma Durga in Helsinki.

I have done this painting with oil paints on a 20"X 24"  framed canvas.



N.B. Anyone interested in taking this piece feel free to contact.

BUDDHA in..... Vitarka asana !






This painting has been done on three separate canvases. Each giving a separate message and when kept together, completes a story of Budha's life.In the search of moksha, he reached Divinity. How and why his son Rahula leaves the palace to join his order at a very tender age. 


            
 TO START WITH I HAVE CREATED THE PALM AND THE FACE OF  BUDDHA ON THE

 CANVAS.

I HAVE USED VARIOUS TECHNIQUES TO BRING OUT A THREE DIMENSIONAL EFFECT 

ON THE MINDS OF VIEWERS.  THE FEEL OF BUDDHA'S PRESENCE. 
      
                                                                          


  In the first canvas, it has been shown the mantras which the monks chant. The Vitarka asana, where

Buddha sits with intellectuals in long discussion to enfold his eight fold path of moksha. The palm

has been created. it is not only painted but to bring in the drama the creation adds aura to the whole

canvas.

The second canvas speaks of Buddha sitting in a discussion with the people who are also in search

 of soul an solace. There I have again used relief work to create an impact on the viewers.

The third canvas talks about Rahula and his cousin leaving all palatial comforts to Join Buddha in

 the monastery.

 The lotus holds a great significance in Buddha's life.

As a child, I was like a beautiful butterfly, enjoying life to its uttermost. My dad and Mom, the two pupils of my eye, loved me very much. I had a great sister, who always acted like a grandmother, taking charge of me and trying to protect me from all the earthly vices.After ten years, a baby brother came into my life,I started taking care of him just as my sister did for me.
I come from a joint family,where, family values,were very important. I had five sets of grand parents,all stayed in a big haveli in Ajmer, Rajasthan.So, my father, apart from having his own three brothers, had a lot of cousin brothers and sisters.
During religious occasions and other ceremonies, our house was fully packed,the rooms were full, beds were shared,even there was queuing up for bathrooms.
My life was very much protected and taken care of, but before I could open eyes my to the world I was settled down with a tall &fair Mechanical engineer. The only son, who was more like a father figure than a friend. No shortcomings but a book worm, an ardent Rabindra sangeet lover, very composed, less sensitive and even more, less social. A big foodie, would measure people, as to how hospitable they were from the food offered when we visited them.
At sixty four, still glued to the computer,hunger to gather more knowledge,has the appetite to collect more information and appear for exams, this urge has lead him to study in Hindi, a language which he is not much familiar with.We are still co existing to meet our priorities and sleeping tight at night.Check Spelling

'ROYAL-SIZED' SAREES.



I am a canvas artist and like to play with my brush and paints. It is a decade since I started playing with fabric colors on dress materials and Saree. Then slowly stitches crept in the pattern which I drew on the sari. Work load made me hire crafts men to work on the designs I created. Now I am quite known in my friends circle. I get orders from abroad too.

People can give me order according to their color taste and the combination they want.
What sort of design they want to wear. It can be floral motif ,human figure or geometrical designs. Rest, they can leave it to the artist to bring out something new and innovative.
Till now, I have delivered , bringing smile on the customers face. The length of the sari can also be got as required. The blouse will also be matching with the sari.




















This is a South Indian silk sari I have joined two color material and my karigaar could do justice to the required stitches. It is a very sleek design which any one will get fascinated to.





















This is also a south silk. I have used two color combinations here too.




















I have designed patli pallu here. Here you can see the design in the pleats.
