Boars and Serpent: Madhubani painting by Priti Karn

Priti Karn portrays a scene of profound symbolism and vivid color. At the core of this captivating artwork resides a perfect circle, symbolic of unity, eternity, and the cyclical nature of life. Within this circle, two boars emerge, their forms awash in vibrant orange and yellow hues. Opposite the boars, an intricately drawn snake gracefully coils, its presence denoting transformation, rebirth, and the shedding of old burdens. The snake’s sinuous form and the precision with which it is depicted evoke a sense of wonder and respect. The circular canvas is further adorned by lush green plants that encircle the central composition. These plants, rich in detail, reflect the thriving ecosystem in which these powerful creatures coexist. Their presence emphasises the harmonious balance of life and nature. The artwork is a celebration of the eternal cycle of life and the dynamic interplay between strength and transformation.
