Jayasri Burman | Untitled | Watercolour on Board | 12 x 12 inches | 2015
Jayasri Burman’s Untitled (2015) is a dreamlike world where human figures and serpentine forms come together in a beautifully mysterious composition. Painted in delicate shades of blue, the artwork feels like a scene from an old myth or a half-remembered dream. The many expressive faces, flowing hair, patterned bodies and winding snake-like figures create a sense of movement and connection. Burman’s intricate line work and repeated patterns give the painting a handcrafted, almost folk-inspired character, while the deep blue background adds a quiet, magical atmosphere. There is something both playful and contemplative about the work—it invites the viewer to slowly explore each figure and discover a new detail with every glance. The artwork is created in watercolour on board, measuring 12 × 12 inches, and is dated 2015.
