The medieval temples of India feature a female figures in the sculpture strategy. That is called “Sursundari”. Celestial female is a ubiquitous motif in the visual arts & architecture of India & those artistic traditions. I want to show that Sursundari through my paintings. She reminds me our ancient Art & the culture of Harappa civilization, world’s most ancient civilization.
\nIt is widely accepted that the Harappan people worshipped a Mother Goddess. The Recovery of a large number of Mother Goddess figurines, suggests that Mother Goddess worship or the fertility cult was widespread and popular in the civilization. Terracotta, steatite and metal figurines of girls in dancing poses, recovered from Indus valley excavations show the presence of some dance form as well as skilled craftsmanship. The most interesting and famous figurines are the bronze Dancing Girl, the steatite Bearded Priest King and the terracotta Wheel Cart etc.
\nThe blend of Indian culture constitute the subjects of my paintings. This is my own way of showing the fusion of our Ancient culture & Art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
