Goddess Saraswati has a very special presence and place in Indian Hindu mythology. She is believed to be the One who endows us with knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning. She is one of the Tridevi, along with the goddesses Lakshmi and Parvati. As an artist, being able to create an artwork of the Goddess was certainly an achievement for me. I felt as if the Goddess held my hand while creating this, and blessed me to create more art. This was indeed a meditative experience. This is a Kalamkari piece of art. Kalamkari art in India has two main styles- Srikalahasti style and Machilipatnam style. Srikalahasti style of painting draws inspiration from the Hindu mythology describing scenes from the epics and folklore. This style holds a strong religious connection because of its origin in the temples. My artwork is inspired by Srikalahasti style of Kalamkari. It will bring positive energy to your workplace, prayer room, or study room. Click here to buy.

Saura Art is one of the oldest tribal art form of India. The Sauras are one of India’s oldest tribes, inhabiting the southern part of Odisha. They are deeply connected with nature and used the art form to depict their everyday life in the form of simple figures on the walls of their house. Though simplistic in appearance, it is rich in symbolism and meaning and conveys their true culture, customs and history. Saura art appears similar to Warli because of similar geometrical shapes and earthen colors but the two artforms are different from the composition of the forms to the pattern in which they are placed. This artwork depicts the village life using small figures and vibrant colors. Images of people dancing, drumming, hunting, riding on horse, carrying the load, and also elephants, with intermittent borders as well as symmetrical double borders on all the four sides in different colors have added to the beauty of the overall piece The artwork is a reminder of the value of simple living that we often forget in the wild maze of life. Simple things are beautiful in their own way and bring stillness in the race of life. Click here to buy this artwork.

The word ‘Kalamkari’ translates to ‘pen craft’ where ‘kalam’ means pen and ‘kari’ translates to work. This vibrant art dates back to over 3000 B.C. As per historians, cloth samples portraying Kalamkari art were discovered at the archaeological sites of Mohenjo-Daro. During the Mughal era, this style of painting gained massive recognition and during the 18th century, it was promoted as decorative artwork. The skillful art form involves 23 meticulous steps involving, bleaching, washing, drawing, dyeing, etc. Kalamkari art, mainly done in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India, has two main styles-the Srikalahasti style and the Machilipatnam style. This piece of art done on high-quality paper represents the “Tree of Life” which is an interesting concept in itself. While deeply rooted in the earth and escalating towards the sky, it indicates an irrefutable connection of life between the earth and the sky. The painting contains 10 peacocks artistically placed on various branches of the tree, some hidden within leaves, some easily visible to the eyes. These peacocks can mean different roles or relations that keep our journey of life moving on this earth as we progress each day towards our life in heaven, in the sky. This uniquely artistic piece is handmade using premium-quality pens and acrylic colors and can augment the décor of your living room, your coffee lounge, and even your workplace.

Mandalas come in vivid forms but symbol like the ‘Flower of Life’ is a complex structure featuring dozens of circles arranged in an overlapping design. This incredible pattern is created with nineteen overlapping circles creating an image of perfectly symmetrical flowers. The ‘Flower of Life’ symbol is one of the most fascinating geometric symbols of Sacred Geometry which is believed to depict the fundamental forms of space and time and that all life is part of a divine, geometric plan. This special symbol represents the cycle of life and is also known as the blueprint of the universe, containing the basis for the design of every atom, molecular structure, life form and everything in existence. There are many who believe that if one begins to understand the Flower Of Life, one can understand the complex inner and outer workings of the Universe. This ancient symbol that is considered sacred in multiple cultures around the world, demonstrates that all consciousness arises from one source represented by the first circle. This artwork uses the ‘Flower of Life’ as the centrepiece and builds upon various mandala rings (10 rings of pattern and 11 colored rings) that extend in continuation to the ends of the paper in perfect symmetry. Each ring of intricate pattern is alternated with a small colored ring of blue/ golden. This thoughtful and creative artwork is not only a masterpiece of artistic excellence and balance, but also has deeper spiritual connotation. As an artist, creating this piece amounted to uncountable number of hours and took me to the depths of my ‘being’ but the completion of each ring brought immense joy in my heart. By the time I signed it off, I was exhilarated beyond words and had fallen in love with this artwork. I still can’t take my eyes off this one, every time I look at it. This artwork would be made to order as it is or you can contact me to get it customised as per your color choice or the size of the artwork. This masterpiece will not only add to the aesthetics of your home but also bring deep, positive energy of the Universe to your surroundings. Order yours here !

This is the painting of the First Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak Dev ji. I am an ardent follower of Guru Nanak Dev ji and His teachings. When I first started doing art, I had a desire of being able to paint His divine face and I feel He wanted to build my trust in my skill through this painting. Even today, I do not know how I created this spiritual aura, peace, serenity and divinity in His face. I believe He held my hand while I created this artwork and I am truly grateful to Almighty for this eternal blessing! This is done in oil colors. The handwritten excerpt in Gurmukhi is the very first verse written in the Holy book Guru Granth Sahib. It says: ik-oa N kaar One Universal Creator God sa t naam The Name Is Truth kar t aa pura kh Creative Being Personified nir bh a-o nirvair No Fear.
