Fire breathers

Dragons have always fascinated me, from their fire breathing prowess to the graceful way these mythical beings glide through the air. There's something about the delicacy and power these creatures represent that's truly enigmatic.

My fascination  with dragons stems from a time way before the Game of Thrones, if I had to look back, it took root during the days spent as a child, with my head burrowed in books, reading about tantalising tales about dragons and wizards. Like all the motifs I paint, this one too is a design that has a lot of personal meaning and significance and takes me back in time. I've done multiple sketches of dragons over the years, these two variants have finally found their way to a Pyjama Party product.

Behind the scenes

Labour of love

I’d like to pay homage to the Indian classical dance form of 'Bharatanatyam',the enigmatic and vibrant dance form ,which finds its origins in the temple studded state of Tamil Nadu. Having trained as a Bharatanatyam dancer from the age of 6, the rigour and discipline it inculcates in a person is something I hold close to my heart.

Over the years this dance form has found international recognition and has adapted and infused modern elements to reflect an evolving society. Two of the leading Bharatanatyam dancers who have helped catapult Bharatanatyam onto the international stage are Smt. Alarmel Valli and Ms. Shobana Chandrakumar Pillai. I have vivd memories of evenings spent amidst the jasmine and sandalwood infused auditoriums watching in awe as Bharatanatyam dancers set the stage on fire with graceful yet deft dances, breathing life into the ancient scriptures and poems of yesteryear. Each artist  taking on the role of a storyteller interpreting and layering each script with music and dance movements to create a breathtaking experience for the audience.

A painting on a teapot is just a humble attempt at capturing the beauty of this dance form and in a way paying tribute to every dancer who dances today and keeps this dance form alive.

A whisper in the wind

There's something about the warm summer breeze blowing in from the sea that has a soothing effect on me. While most people might huff and puff at the sweltering heat, I guess having the luxury of working from an indoor studio makes summers for me a little more blissful. Celebrating life, beauty ,growth and abundance I've painted a delicately detailed pair of shoes that complement the feelings of free abandon I feel.
