Title: Ganesha Ensemble
Medium: Oil on Canvas

This painting features a composition of the elephant-headed deity in a theme known as Sangeet Ganesha (Musical Ganesha). 

Moving away from the singular icon used for worship, the artist presents a narrative ensemble, celebrating Ganesha as the patron of arts and sciences (Kala and Vidya). The painting utilizes a horizontal frieze composition, featuring five figures each rendered in a distinct hue. The figures are engaged with classical Indian instrumentation, including the Tabla (percussion), Bansuri (bamboo flute), and Veena (string). The work blends devotional subject matter with a contemporary aesthetic.

Title: Devi
Artist: M.A.
Material: Cotton or Silk (to be verified)

Technique:

Batik (Wax-Resist Dyeing) This artwork is an example of Batik, a wax resist dyeing technique. In this, the artist applies molten wax to seal specific areas or fibres of the fabric, creating a physical “resist” that prevents the fabric from absorbing the subsequent dye baths. The defining feature of this piece is the “crackle” or veini effect—a hallmark of this form. 

Subject: 

The subject portrays the archetype of ‘devi’ the Divine Feminine (Shakti). The iconography features the Trinayana (third eye) symbolizing higher consciousness and an ornate crown.

​The central subjects are set against a fluid, abstract background rendered in thinned oil glazes, creating a timeless, atmospheric space. It is specifically composed to act as the focal heart of a home, inviting peace and divine grace into any curated space.
