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)
Colour Scheme: Palette of maroon, yellow

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 Sleeping Buddha (Parinirvana)
Title: The Sleeping Buddha (Parinirvana)
Artist: M.A.
Medium: Oil on MDF Board
Technique: Oil color on a solid MDF base with hand-applied textures

This painting portrays a serene, reclining Buddha in the state of Parinirvana—the ultimate transition to meditative peace. The closed eyes and gentle expression are designed to evoke absolute inner stillness and detachment from worldly noise. Surrounded by lotuses and lily pads—symbols of purity rising from the material world. 

This masterpiece is intended to serve as a spiritual “soul” for any space, providing a grounded sense of Shanti (peace) whether displayed in a living room, bedroom, or personal sanctuary.
