This symbolic composition is rendered in the artist’s hallmark delicate brushwork, textures range from porcelain glaze to soft embroideries, achieved with layered acrylics and muted tones of red and burnt ochre. A richly, visually harmonious ensemble that suggests cultural opulence gently balanced with subtle commentary on roles and ritual.
