Description
The artist has closely and intimately observed his and other families in the native village since his childhood. The act of giving birth and the cycle of birth and death have been an area of interest for the artist’s visual practice. This is a work where a pregnant mother is dreaming of the offspring, soon to be invited on earth. The artist’s personal history merges in this work with graceful surreal imagination and depicts an emotional contemplation from his experience. Various elements of welcoming childhood like milk feeder, baby cycle, or paper boat- can also be spotted in the background of the central figure. The colorful and figurative dynamic portrayed with detailed Madhubani strokes, illustrates a time to remember from someone’s life, expecting a birth, in anticipation of creation. Â
