Kambala and Koroda Katta, painted in acrylic on canvas.

The Kambala in full force. This acrylic painting captures a runner guiding his buffaloes through the muddy track, surrounded by the roar of the crowd. It's a moment of pure power and tradition.

A depiction of 'Koroda Katta', the traditional cock fight. I used a flurry of vibrant colors and sharp, energetic lines to convey the intensity and movement of the birds in combat.

Here I am in my studio with two of my proudest creations celebrating Tulunadu culture. On the left is the 'Koroda Katta' and on the right is my 'Kambala' painting, both ready to find a new home.

A short video showing the creation process and final reveal of my Tulunadu series paintings. You can see close-ups of the 'Kambala' and 'Koroda Katta' pieces, highlighting the texture and color.
