In the lyrical visuals of Kerala murals, this acrylic on canvas painting by Arun Kumar brings to the land of humans, a celestial Nartaki, dancer, embodying all the beauty of the Universe. Her form is immaculate, brimming with youth and loveliness, adorned with elegant ornaments that highlight the suppleness of her body striking a gorgeous posture. Her luscious hair is tied in a top knot held by pearled strings and a tiara, her neck has golden necklaces, a golden waistband embraces her waist, and anklets, and armlets and bangles adorn her feet and hands. With her left hand raised to make the gesture of a mirror and her right hand raised above her head, the Nartaki makes the mudra of Sringaar- ornamentation.
Not just gold, but nature with its blossoming flora adorns the youthful maiden, a reminder of the legends where the youth and beauty of a woman instil fertility in nature.
Waves of a lotus-filled pond in the foreground, and a deer and peacock in the background add to the natural charm of the scene which has been rendered with a marvellous sense of animation and detailing. Encapsulating the poetries of India devoted to the praise of feminine beauty, this artwork is a dreamy canvas to have in one’s space.
