Painting as an art form has flourished
in India from very early periods as is
evident from literary sources and also
from the remnants that have been
discovered.
Indian Paintings can be broadly
classified as the murals &
miniatures. Murals are huge works
executed on the walls of solid
structures. Classic examples are the
paintings in Ajantha &
Kailasantaha temple.
Miniature paintings are those
executed on a very small scale on
perishable material such as paper,
cloth, etc., Though this style had
been perfected by artisans under the
various rules, not many remain
today. Prime examples are the
Rajasthani & Mughal miniatures.
Contemporary artists have kept up
to the times & excel in their
modern works, giving free expression
to their imagination & artistic
liberty.

C.N.Karunakaran
www.cnkarunakaran.com
Karunakaran's works are
noted for his highly
stylised figures and the
intricately decorative
patterns that weave across
the pictorial surface.
Karunakaran started upon his
particular idiom of heavily
ornate, stylised figuration.
Later, the figures evolved
more, under the influence of
Indian traditional murals
and miniatures. |

I don't remember, exactly
since when I did start
observing these women with
their wonderful costume and
lovely ornaments but one is
certain that they have
fascinated me all through!
And my fascination of these
rustic beauties sooner found
a way of expression through
my paintings. |
