About

For me, painting is not just work; it's my way of searching for meaning. I bring together research and pure gut feeling, mixing stories from Indian mythology with the boldness of Chola lines and the colours of Ajanta. I try to make my art a real offering, something deeper than just a pretty picture.

What I Love to Create

My focus is on Indian mythology painting and philosophy – think stories of Devi, Shiva, and Vishnu. Whether it’s Lalita Tripurasundari’s energy, Shiva’s wanderings, or epic moments from the Ramayana, I spend hours in scriptures so that every image feels alive.

  • Each piece is a ‘heartwork’, not just art for sale.
  • I blend Phad art-inspired mural styles with miniature and sculptural traditions.
  • My best hours are early morning, during brahma muhurtam – that’s when the work truly breathes.
  • The Chakshudaan (painting the eyes) is a special moment for me, always.

What You Can Get

  • Custom mythological artwork for your home, temple, or collection.
  • Large-scale storytelling through fine art murals, turning walls into narratives.
  • Hand-painted ritual textiles like sarees, all with sacred, researched motifs.

If you want something personal and are patient with the slow art process, I’d love to work together to bring a piece of these stories into your space.

My Story

Namaskar, I’m Himanshu. Grew up in Prayagraj, surrounded by dance and colors. My gurus—especially my mother, Smt. Kamalini Nagarajan Dutt—shaped everything I do. Lost her, but her lessons walk with me. I see Bharatanatyam and painting as one big sangam, mixing Chola lines, Ajanta colors, and Phad technique. My Ph.D. even tied dance to sculpture. I dance, paint, and research to keep Amma’s vision alive. Art is my way to ask, ‘when next?’

My Work

What I Offer - Thematic Bharatanatyam productions (solo, duet, collaborations), painting exhibitions with art talks, and research-based workshops on Indian art and mythology.

My Approach - It’s never just about performing. I dig into shastras, epics—stories like Shikhandi and Ras-E-Raskhan—then shape them for today.

Art Meets Dance - My painting style—Chola-inspired lines, Ajanta colors—feeds my choreography. Both arts live together at @thenatyachitra.

Stories Close to Me - Solo acts like Shikhandi and UnEklavya aren’t just tales, but questions. I want audiences to feel, to think, to connect.
