| Apsara Gem Painting |
Apsaras or heavenly maidens were famed for their grace and beauty, as are the famous gemstones of Rajasthan.
Here, a rajasthani gemstone artist recreates his vision of an apsara wearing a typically rajasthani choli or blouse.
In her hennaed and bejewelled hands, she gracefully holds two pink lotus buds.
Heavily-laden with colorful necklaces and a floral garland, she wears a tiara like crown which is offset by her rich ochre head covering.
This painting is framed beautifully in Italian wood with its inner bevel glittering in golden paint. 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.
