Framed Ganesha Paintings
A framed Ganesha painting that depicts an artistic representation of the sacred God, in bright colours.
1. The many moods of Ganesha are captured by artists to come up with endless creations.
2. A Ganesha created on a metal plate and coloured with enamel paints, is framed with a distressed copper frame that echoes the use of metal in this unique art piece. This too is hung on a wall and adds decorative value to a home or office space.
3. The painting shown below has a vertical format. The presence of two horizontal distressed wooden members at the top and bottom of the painting along with the two brass bells on either side at the top take this painting to the realm of an art piece. This is an example of the modern form of Ganesha art, where a flat painting is enhanced by sculptural elements creating art forms with new identities. The painting also carries calligraphic representations of the sacred Ganesha hymn and the use of AUM- the primary sound of divinity.
An art piece of this kind gets dual importance- for the artistic representation of sacred Ganesha and its unique presentation; hence such Ganesha products are expensive. But they are still sought after as home decor pieces as they bring art and divinity to a home.
A close-up of the painted Ganesha in the vertical painting and the calligraphic styles used to represent the sacred Ganesha hymns.
