Desert Music

‚Desert Music‘ 150 x 150 cm, Acrylic painting, 2024

This is a commissioned artwork took around 120 hours to complete. Finally happy to see it installed at my client’s house. I was personally present there to see it was done to perfection. So thankful to him for giving me the freedom to conceptualise this painting entirely.
The painting resides in a lounge-cum-study area just above a large glass door where the sun rises and fills the entire floor with warmth and happiness. On a scorching summer day, in the deserts of Rajasthan, the wandering couple taking a break. The chilled water in the earthern pot quenched their thirst. He plays some soothing music for her on his Ektara (an indian instrument that resembles a violin). The soul is happy and blissful when
suddenly a peacock arrives and decides to dance.
When the love is eternal, no sun, no desert is an aberration, the moment is magical.
