Beauty revealed- a 5000 year old artistic heritage
As the sun awakens over the dew caressed village, the first light illuminates the enchanting designs that adorn the doorstep of each household. Stunning in its beauty as well as its simplicity, the auspicious kolam reveals the hidden potential and inner beauty of the simple village belle, who painstakingly creates myriad designs on the threshold of her house.
 This painting is an ode to Woman depicted through the expression of peace and contentment evident in the girl's countenance. Resplendent in a shimmering silk saree with delicate golden threads, the girl's half smile overshadows even the beauty of the flowers that adorn her raven tresses. It appears as if even the bright colours she uses in her Kolam find themselves unequal to matching the beauty of the girl in this vibrant canvas.
 SIZE: 18x24”. ORIGINAL PAINTING OIL ON CANVAS BOARD.YEAR 2007.
