(D) LIVING DELICIOUSLY

*Self Portrait of the Artist as imagined, swimming in the water, embracing a tasteful lifestyle.

*IDEA: Being tastefully active.
Embracing life in colour and actions.

*PROCESS: Creative expression through medium manipulation and
idea generation from personal stories are the approaches of realising this piece.
Beautiful complimentary colour display with patiently rendered rhythmic flow patterns of my signature stripes. Self representation of portraiture with romantic symbolism.

*INFLUENCE: Deeply expressive facial features and body movements in my works are highly influenced by my cultural heritage and decades long figure studies of historical frescoes in caves and murals in spiritual locations from my birth country.

** PROMINENT COLOUR PLAY: Yellow with Cobalt Blue stripes on Light Blue background

*** This piece is a part of my new series called REVIVAL OF THE NYMPH.
Born from my best selling TEAROOM series and evolved into a different height.
Swimmers, waters are the highlights of this series and it has endless possibilities.
Embracing fluidity of movement through hues and shapes.
