Ratri Devi - the Night Goddess

Art and culture have been subdued by computerised modernism. Creative labour is not valued. The pride of the urban civilisation lies in the successive upraising of concrete structures to reach the unlimited sky.

This painting is a visual representation of a life saturated with lust: lust for sex, enjoyment and pleasure. However, it cannot be denied that there is also a need for real love.

Floral

Each type of flower symbolizes a certain sentiment. When someone gifts flowers he expresses his emotions and feelings through a bouquet. This work interprets a person's euphoria about the mixed emotions between happiness and sadness in an event. Palette knife strokes with acrylic media on canvas emphasize the emotions that are created rather than the shape of the flower itself.

The Covid-19 pandemic is currently wreaking havoc on human life but this time is also helping nature to regain its balance. Covid-19 allows us to see the sky turning blue again, animals and plants are no longer burdened by human pollution.

Each man has his own ambitions but to achieve it he has to put in efforts and sometimes has to face difficulties and obstacles. The red colour represents the symbol of the spirit, the road with elbow represents the obstacles that have to be crossed.

This painting titled “Face Expression” by artist Doni Kabo is part of a 7-part series that visualises the conflict that an artist faces when artistry becomes a commercial entity. The side effects of commercialisation that has in turn commercialized the soul and made it ‘common’ has also contributed to the erosion of its true potential. Through this painting Kabo seeks to highlight how artistry is no longer a proportional natural quality but has become a ground for public validation, complex story telling or simple abstraction. The sad but inevitable truth that artistry has succumbed to environmental, aesthetical and technical factors is also highlighted. A unique artwork; it is a one and only art piece hand painted by the artist using a collage of acrylic on canvas. “Face Expression” is exclusively available on Mayinart and will require framing for display. Note: The artwork may be a part of a series but in itself it is unlike any other.

Village community life in the afternoon with various activities like horse riding to spend the time after a long day's work.

Horse Riding

There is a time for happiness and there is a time for sorrow. All we need is to have a relaxed mind to be able to face the "waves" of this life.

Relax

Older than history, older than tradition and older than even the legends. Devotees gather on the ghats of Benaras to witness the spiritual Ganaga Arti. The artist here depicts the crowd of devotees in silhouette.

Mythology and Religion

Deep impressions of the folk culture of coastal Karnataka during Praksh’s growing up years, is reflected in this series of paintings entitled "Goddess".
The Goddess series stands out for its philosophical reflection and lyrical mood that is matched by the compact brush strokes, imbued traditional elements and earthy colours. It stands to depict the strong ties that tether humans to our native land and culture. Deep shades of blue and ochre often highlighted by earthy browns and presence of nature elements like leaves, fishes and birds interspersed with human figures – all suggest the abundance of life, its beauty and bounty.

Everyday Objects

Everybody likes gold, that precious metal. But there is one thing that is more cherished than even gold - time. Time is precious because we as humans have a very limited amount available. We cannot go backwards in time; it is a non-renewable resource. Since  time can never be recreated, we have to use it wisely.
