Eternal Dance

The Eternal Dance is a celebration of life. This vibrant acrylic on canvas painting is 30x40 inches and comes with a black frame imported from Italy.
 
As we know that much of India has a Persian influence-before the Europeans came in. The rule of the Moghuls for hundreds of years culminated in a cultural and artistic amalgamation. The Taj Mahal is the best example of such an architectural masterpiece. The King's Court and Deewan-e-Khas can still be seen in the Forts at Delhi, Rajasthan and many parts of the Persian settlements.
 
It has always mesmerized me to visit the sites like the Red Fort, Agra Fort, Palaces of Jaipur and Udaipur and Aurangabad. The perfection of planning, logistics, geometric symmetry and artistic intricacies is unparalleled. These ancient and forgotten sites need a revival.
 
In my painting of the Eternal Dance, I bring along this fervor of the King's Court with the Dancers in a state of trans. They are ecstatic with the nectar of life. The musical instruments reminiscence of the Indo-Persian Golden Age.
 
The painting adds the vibrancy with its color and a contemporary twist with the pop-Cubism style.
 
It has been on several exhibits and many of you have witnessed it at Kendra, Center for Contemporary The Center for Contemporary Art, NJ.
