We begin by defining the central composition on a museum-quality canvas, meticulously building depth from the focal point outwards. This methodical layering ensures that every element—from the deity's adornments to the background—receives individual attention before the final varnish is applied for longevity. My approach to spiritual and mythological art is rooted in the academic discipline I cultivated at the Sir J.J. School of Art. While the subjects are timeless, my interpretation is contemporary, focusing on the interplay of light, form, and emotional resonance. Whether you are seeking a depiction of Radha-Krishna, Lord Ganesha, or another cultural narrative, my process remains consistent. We start with a consultation to determine the mood; some prefer a serene, pastoral setting, while others look for a vibrant, celebratory composition. ### My Process for Commissioned Works * **Concept & Composition:** We discuss the specific iconography you wish to feature. I provide initial sketches to ensure the arrangement of figures and elements aligns with your vision. * **Layered Execution:** Using heavy-body acrylics on double-primed cotton canvas, I build the painting incrementally. This allows me to refine details like the Zari work on attire or the intricate expressions on the deities' faces. * **Archival Standards:** Every finished piece is coated with non-yellowing archival varnish, protecting the colors against environmental factors and ensuring the painting retains its vibrancy for years. If you have a specific scripture, mythological scene, or family deity you wish to see rendered in this style, I am open to discussing the narrative you want to preserve. ## About Pratap Badtya I am Pratap. My art is a bridge between the lessons I learned at Sir J.J. School and the stories I grew up hearing. When I paint a deity or a spiritual scene, I am not just creating an image; I am trying to capture the energy and silence that surrounds these sacred narratives.
