Girl in a turban IV 20″ x 20″

Description

I started work on this series in 2008. I was living in Rajasthan at that time. The aridity and the distinctly visible horizon of the desert, the clear skies and the colorful turbans worn by the men, are the elements which I used in my works. In my paintings though I made the women wear the turbans. The turban symbolizes the ‘thinking mode of the mind’. My women take their own decisions; take on what life throws at them on their own terms.
