This painting captures a small, intricate carving of an elephant carrying two riders—perhaps a King and Queen—from an ancient Indian temple. I used acrylics on sand to create a textured, three-dimensional effect that mimics the feel of granite sculpture. These exquisite figures are just a few among countless beautiful carvings found throughout India’s ancient temples, often overlooked and hidden. By bringing these treasures into your home through my work, I hope to preserve and celebrate the artistry and history embedded in these timeless pieces.
