This artwork depicts two young besotted lovers

This painting “Couple” is an outstanding work by artist Subrata Das. His artworks are imbued with color, mysticism and romance. The acrylics on canvas and mixed media works, feature a cast of ethereal mythological beings from the Hindu epics with long limbs, cascading hair and a flame orange mist of vermilion dotting their foreheads. The painting is dotted with blue lotuses, doves, peacocks, birds and the omnipresent flute. The ethnic subjects and themes are rendered with modern aesthetics, and tradition mixes freely with contemporary techniques in Das’s work.
