Fire and Form: Echoes of Kantara

A dramatic oil painting capturing the divine fury of Theyyam (a ritual art closely related to Bhoota Kola from Kantara) and the classical grace of Kathakali. Dominated by the fiery-red, heavily-ornamented visage of the folk deity, this artwork resonates with the primal energy and spiritual conflict seen in South Indian mythology and films like Kantara. An intense piece of Indian cultural art for those who appreciate the link between ritual dance, folklore, and performance.
