This artwork portrays Ganesha playing musical instrument

This painting “Ganesha” is an outstanding work by artist Surendra Pal Singh Bhogal. Ganesha is a popular figure in Indian art.  Unlike those of some deities, representations of Ganesha show wide variations and distinct patterns changing over time. He may be portrayed standing, dancing, heroically taking action against demons, playing with his family as a boy, or sitting down on an elevated seat, or engaging in a range of contemporary situations. Surendra canvas are recognized for their interesting mix of colors, and his palette of colors is subdued yet vibrant and expressive. The bold and vivid use of colors defines his appreciation for impressionistic style. Even though he create an interesting mix of subtle and soft colors on his palette, they do not fail to convey the desired feelings, moods and impressions.
