This artwork is inspired by the divine love story of Radha and Krishna from Hindu mythology, particularly their Rasleela (divine dance) and the exuberant Holi festival. The painting captures their eternal bond and joyous celebration, set against a sacred architectural backdrop that evokes a timeless spiritual realm. Influences include the works of Raja Ravi Varma, known for blending realism with mythology, and traditional Indian miniature painters who infused spirituality into vivid compositions.
I hope viewers experience the joy and spiritual ecstasy of Radha and Krishna’s dance, feeling a deep connection to themes of love, devotion, and cultural richness. The vibrant colours and dynamic poses should spark a sense of celebration, while the traditional elements encourage reflection on the enduring beauty of Indian mythology and the universal nature of love.
The Oil colour medium is bold, rich in colours mirroring Holi’s vibrancy. Radha and Krishna as subjects embody divine love, a timeless theme. The style fuses traditional Indian art with modern expressionism, using exaggerated colours and movement to heighten emotional and spiritual resonance.
