Guns and Roses- Oil on Canvas Board, 35 x 45 cms

Indian Marriage- A rosy picture for some women , filled with peace and sunshine...but a life of bleeding agony and chains for others.
This being a" thinking" painting, took a lot of time and toil. It had to be planned, to be able to divide the expressions into sad and happy. Well, this is what I have at the end of it.

This theme could spark a series of paintings. First look, things seem normal and on closer observation the depth, the duality and the irony strikes the viewers. Truly a valuable piece. Pls do try mote variants around this theme.

Arvind, this painting is actually part of a series in my mind and is very close to my heart. The first one was ' trapped' which I did last year.
Am starting it sometime soon.

A lovely piece of work. It conveys so many messages in one go - indeed a master piece. A closer look depicts a thousand emotions of the women who indeed is caught in the intricate web of happiness and sorrows.
Thanks wish you may more of such wonderful work
