SHELTERING PALM (2025)Ink drawing by Hiranya R

*Surreal portrait of a woman with a Palm leaf
that is sheltering her from the celestial power of the Sun.

This work represents semi-self-portrait in imaginary settings.
A personal tribute to my young adult memories in the tropical wilderness.

*Process: Ink, free-hand line drawing in finer detail

* Deeply expressive facial features and body movements in my works are highly influenced by my cultural heritage and decades long figure studies of historical frescoes and murals in spiritual locations from my birth country. The artistic postures are borrowed from centuries old cave paintings that I studied during my college years.

* Primary colours used: Black Ink on Sunkissed Yellow & Metallic Gold.
Authentic original studio drawing, 2025 (free hand drawn. One of a kind)
