"Darpan Sundari" is an original acrylic painting inspired by the iconic statues of the Halebid-Belur temples. Depicting a graceful lady gazing at her reflection in a hand mirror, the artist employs a distinctive technique of painting over sand to evoke the texture and depth of carved granite. This method brings out the intricate details of the sculpture in a three-dimensional form, highlighting the delicate craftsmanship of the original temple artwork. The portrait orientation emphasizes the elegant posture and ornate carvings, capturing the timeless beauty of this historic motif. This painting has won many prizes in online exhibitions, and been featured on the front page of art magazines.
