Jayasri Burman | Untitled | Watercolour on Shikishi Board | 6 x 6 inches | 2025
This enchanting mixed media artwork by Jayasri Burman unfolds like a poetic celebration of femininity, nature, and imagination. Rich with expressive faces, blooming branches, and softly floating birds, the composition creates a world where human emotions and the natural world exist in perfect harmony. Every figure seems to carry its own quiet story, yet together they form a beautifully connected rhythm across the canvas.
The glowing orange backdrop fills the painting with warmth and vitality, while the delicate pink blossoms add a dreamlike softness. The birds move gracefully between the figures, symbolising peace, freedom, and the invisible bonds that connect all living beings. The stylised female forms, painted with elongated eyes and graceful contours, reflect serenity, strength, and introspection — a signature visual language often seen in Burman’s work.
Created using mixed media, the artwork carries layered textures and vibrant depth, making every colour and form feel alive. The interplay of bold tones and delicate detailing gives the piece both visual richness and emotional intimacy. Though compact in size, it has a striking presence that instantly brightens a space while inviting deeper contemplation.
This artwork is perfect for collectors who are drawn to contemporary Indian art that blends mythology, folk influences, and emotional storytelling into a single expressive composition.
