A wealth of iconography lies in the silent, unassuming hills of the Deccan. Within those are complex networks of caves, hidden from view, ravaged by time and the forces of invasion. What remains is a mere fraction of the art and spiritual expression of an incredibly long time ago - and subject to the same ravages.
The painting that you see on this page captures a sliver of the cave art and architecture of yore. An Indian Devi - perhaps the queen of them all, Uma - is carved against a looming stone wall. Silvery grey monotone, setting off the quiet contemplation that marks Her countenance. Minimalistic attire and adornment betray centuries between Her and Her present viewer.
A simple watercolour that captures every angle of a cave sculpture, in addition to being deeply realistic. The fact that such an effect has been achieved with the use of a single, predominant colour makes this work of art a great buy.
