An unusual depiction of Shiva rising from the Shiva lingam which forms the highest peak in a russet brown mountain range. The meditative calm of Shiva is reflected beautifully in the mellow shades of the myriad gemstones used to paint this portrait on acrylic. Against the blue sky, the translucent Ganga river flows gently from the coils of his hair. The hood of the emerald green cobra rises above the hand of Shiva with the Om painted in vermilion on his palm. This portrait is richly set in a golden painted wooden frame.
The colors radiate with the brilliance of gemstones, which are finely ground almost to powder. A special resin is used to bind the powdered gemstones into a paint. The artist first sketches the subject of his inspiration on a sheet of acrylic. Then he fills the colors made from gemstones to create a painting that emanates a soft yet rich glow. This is then framed in rosewood or whitewood depending which one serves best to enhance the painting.
