Description

This richly symbolic painting by Ajit Dubey presents a meditative central figure with a blue face and flowing beard, seated cross-legged within a golden aura that radiates spiritual gravitas. Surrounding this ascetic presence are vignettes of ritual offering, nature, and myth—figures bearing flowers, birds perched on shoulders, lotus blooms, and aquatic life—all rendered with narrative precision and mystical undertones. Dubey’s composition blends folk iconography with contemporary figuration, creating a layered cosmology that reflects his deep engagement with Indian mythology and rural memory. The textured palette and intricate detailing evoke a sacred theatre of introspection, devotion, and ecological harmony, hallmarks of Dubey’s printmaking and painterly practice
