Another otherworldly image of the introspective ascetic. Seemingly, he gazes out into the world; straight into the eyes of the viewer. Yet, to the discerning onlooker, the sadhu (ascetic) is looking through them. Large grey eyes, tantamount to pools of wisdom. The brow smeared with Vaishnavite tilaka. Flowing mass of beard and moustache.

A hyper-realistic countenance, executed using mixed media on superior canvas. Installed on your home or office wall, such a painting is sure to turn heads and stop visitors on their tracks. Superb brushstrokes and a skilfully executed colour gradient translate to consummate features of the face such as those expressive eyes and the texture of aged skin.

The kaleidoscopic mass of motifs surrounding the ascetic face includes, but is not limited to, sacred symbols in Devanagari and rough-edged shapes in dull metallics.
