Medium : Gouache on handmade paper

Size : 20" x 42"

Painting is done using the decorative style of Indian folk art - Kalamkari. Style is known for its intricate designs and very limited color palette: white is exposed paper, the painting is drawn with black paint, and only one color other than red is used to evoke the painting. I find this style very challenging. It is primarily used for textile design. Decorative elements of Kalamkari help me transport my landscapes to the fantasy world.

Painting is done on 12" x 16" handmade paper. It is custom framed in a black wooden frame with acid-free off-white matt.
