Nature's Elephant | Kumaraswamy B | Acrylic on canvas | 48 x 32 inches

Born in 1973, Kumaraswamy uses stylized women figures, animals and birds in his paintings with natural forms like trees and leaves to show that nature is beautiful because it is alive. He juxtaposes fluttering birds, animals, blooming trees, full moon and sun, all that may embody beauty with these recurring elements, he recreates a fantastic domicile for the marvellous entities to dwell in. His scheme of colour is simple yet vibrant and the application, with mean dry brush strokes, is exuberant creating highlights and depth. His ideas revolve around nature’s enchanting beauty and its relationship with its surroundings.
