Saraswati: Goddess of learning

The Goddess of learning and arts is every artist’s favourite. Here the artist imagines her lost in the notes of veena, seated on a lotus in a water body.
The art work is created using two distinct approaches. A complicated process of preparing the base and then working on two sides of a carefully beaten down copper sheet creates stunning pieces of wall art.
A customised base of natural lac is prepared depending on the intricacies of the art work. The copper sheet is then hammered with precision of a goldsmith to draw the design or pattern. Once complete the sheet is flipped and chasing is done on the front to complete the art work. The finished art work is then treated with special reagents to add character to the work. A protective layering is finally added to preserve it from corrosion, rendering it practically maintenance free for life. These unique pieces of art come mounted on a tastefully designed textured jute background in a complimentary natural wood finish frame.
