Status : Sold Out

This is a Siporex stone carving work - a kathakali face -this is the first customized order that I have taken up from my Mallu friend!!!

Generally kathakali faces are very colourful - but my client insisted that he wanted a non-traditional kathakali face..

Kathakali On Siporex

This was made from this plain block of stone by first marking the outline and then carefully carving out the features and designs - it has to be done only using blunt tools as this is a very soft stone  and sharp tools will damage the stone and its very difficult to patch it up..

Pot Paintings

Tried out the crackle effect on this..here a base lighter colour is first applied,allowed tk dry completely,then a later of crackle medium is applied - when its half-dry and tacky, a coat of the darker colour is applied they are allowed to dry completely - in the process, the crackle medium crackles and exposes the layer of paint lying beneath its surface, thus giving this beautiful effect..!!

Warli Art

Warli art is the art form of tribals of Maharashtra. This art form depicts the social life of the tribals using simple figures. This is a traditionally done using rice flour as paint and painted on cow-dung processed surfaces which means the painting consists of just 2 colours - brown and white.

For a change, I created the painting using 4 colours.
