Description

This expressive artwork by J.M.S. Mani blends charcoal realism with bursts of vibrant color, creating a theatrical tableau of three human-like figures. The braided woman, bowed central figure, and crowned character evoke a layered narrative of identity, ritual, and emotional depth. Surrounding brushstrokes in orange, blue, and green infuse the scene with movement and symbolic energy. Mani’s composition feels like a memory in motion—part portrait, part performance, wholly poetic.
