Description

This painting is inspired from one of my childhood memories. So why is the door frame sacred? There is an interesting story from Indian mythology.

There was a demon king who appeased one God (we have multiple forms of God) and asked for immortality. God said, 'Anyone born must die so ask for something that your death will be delayed or difficult'.

So he really thought about it and came up with a brilliant demand. 'Okay, I may not be killed by a human or an animal, neither during the day nor in the night, never with weapons, and neither inside a house nor outside, neither on the ground nor in the space, also not to be killed by a naturally born entity.'

He was granted his wish and the demon king turned into a true rat creating havoc in the world. So finally the dooms day arrives and he is angry with his own son who is an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu. He asks his son, 'Do you think your Lord is everywhere, even in this pillar'? The kid says, 'yes'. So the angry king breaks the pillar.

A weird entity surfaces out of the pillar! It has a human body in the lower half and with a lion in upper half....he is 'Lord Narsimha' perched on the entrance door frame of the palace and makes the demon king lay on his lap and tears him apart through his intestine just using his nails much more dangerous than manicured long nails and the time was evening!

So as children we were always told to never stand on the door frame or sneeze or do anything that's disrespectful to the door frame.

This painting is a piece of traditional India. The décor is as done on festive occasions with domestic animals around!

I really enjoyed my time doing this painting and happy to release it during Diwali!

Concept

Being self-taught, I started out painting a wide range of objects, from still life to landscapes to objects out of fantasy and imagination. I create concept art in oil and have created realistic art in acrylics and watercolor. But from 2020 I have been doing only concept art or art that adds to history. To depict my concepts, I work with oil on large linen canvas. Due to the archival quality of linen I prefer to work on this surface and oil helps me to organize and portray my thoughts well on the large linen canvas with its slow drying quality. So, going forward I will do more of concepts that heal or make me happy. I hope the viewer will enjoy the visual appeal of my art, feel the emotion in which it was created. Also, I wish the viewers to connect with my art in a way that may initiate an inner dialogue.

Using a traditional method of creating with layers of paint, I emphasize texture and color. I use colors, motifs, allegory and symbols to express my concept in a surrealistic style. In a painting I like to add many small brush strokes or colours on purpose to emphasize and add meaning to the main idea and so viewers must look for the small little details in my paintings. All my stories are representations of true events that I witnessed or have experienced.

While working on a particular concept I have done multiple paintings on the same theme. I like to return to a concept again and again with new imagery.
