This original acrylic painting on canvas is a tribute to the vibrant, layered beauty of South Indian culture and tradition, seen through the eyes of a South Indian artist.
Created with the intent to bring light to the lesser-known and deeply rooted elements of South India, this artwork weaves together powerful cultural symbols: the expressive eyes inspired by Kathakali, the sacred lotus in bloom, the golden temple gopuram, the iconic auto rickshaw, and the quiet strength of a woman seated beside a tiger. Each element represents a different dimension of heritage: spirituality, resilience, femininity, folklore, and everyday life.
The bold use of colour especially the fiery orange, deep green, and radiant pink, reflects the richness and intensity of South Indian identity. This contemporary Indian artwork blends tradition with modern expression, making it both culturally rooted and visually striking.
