Acrylic Detailed Hand-Painted (Still Life Temple)

Which temple does this painting show?

It shows a temple that is part of a monument on the Chitrakala Parishath campus in Bangalore. Dr. Priyanka Srivastava painted it as a still life with some changes of her own, so it stays close to the real spot while carrying her own touch in the composition and colour.

What will I see in the scene?

A red door set into a grey stone wall, with roots hanging down over it and a paved courtyard in front. The greys and greens are laid in soft washes, and the red-orange of the door is the one strong note that pulls the eye in. It is a quiet, detailed scene that rewards a closer look.

Who is the artist?

Dr. Priyanka Srivastava, an artist of the Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath in Bangalore. The temple in this painting stands on the Parishath's own campus, so the subject comes from the art institution she is part of, which gives the piece a personal connection to Bangalore's art scene.

How big is it, and in what medium?

It is acrylic on canvas, 20 x 17 inches. The size suits a hallway, a staircase wall, a bedroom or a study, places where people pass close by and can take in the detail of the stone and roots.

How does the painting arrive?

It comes unframed, as a rolled canvas. That keeps the choice of finish with you, so you can pick a frame in wood, metal or any colour that suits the grey stone and red door, or match it to the other frames already on your wall.

Is it signed?

Yes. It carries Dr. Priyanka Srivastava's signature and comes with a certificate of authentication. The signature on the canvas and the certificate together confirm it as an original hand-painted work, which is worth keeping if you are buying it as a gift or for a collection.
