Acrylic Bold Hand-Painted (The Power)

What inspired The Power?

The painting is inspired by the Khajuraho temple. At its centre is Nataraj, and the artist painted him in very bright colour to show power rising. Around him she has built a ring and swirling patterns, so the whole canvas seems to move with the dance.

How do the colours work in this piece?

A pale green-cream figure glows inside a spiked ring, set against swirls of purple and blue. Small rust and green touches add warmth. The contrast between the luminous figure and the deep purple-blue ground is what gives the painting its energy, and the matte finish lets the colours read clearly under any light.

How large is The Power?

It is acrylic on canvas, 36 x 24 inches, a large size that suits a living room, a long corridor or a wall above a sofa or bed. It holds a wall on its own without needing other frames around it.

Will it be framed when I receive it?

No, it comes unframed, on canvas board. That leaves the finishing to your taste: a dark frame deepens the purple-blue ground, a light or natural wood frame lets the pale figure stand out more, and leaving it unframed gives a clean, modern look on a plain wall.

Does it come with a certificate?

Yes. The painting is signed by Dr. Priyanka Srivastava and comes with a certificate of authentication. It is an original hand-painted work by an artist of the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath, Bangalore, and the certificate records that for you and for anyone you pass it on to.

Which spaces does it suit?

With its purple-blue palette and a dancing Nataraj at the centre, it suits a living room, a dance or yoga space, or a calm wall in a home with white, grey or pale wood. It also works in an office reception where you want one strong piece of art.
