Fusion Canvas Art: Traditional Tanjore with a Modern Twist
We combine the centuries-old technique of Tanjore gold foil work with the versatility of canvas. Perfect for modern homes that want a touch of heritage without the weight of traditional wooden boards.
We love to innovate while honoring tradition. Here, we present a unique fusion of art forms: a Ranganatha Swamy painting on canvas, intricately detailed with the 22-karat gold foil work of Tanjore art. This blend creates a contemporary masterpiece with a timeless, spiritual soul.

About Fusion on Canvas: A Modern Twist
Unlike traditional board-based Tanjore art, these canvas pieces are significantly lighter and more versatile. We use a fusion technique where the background is hand-painted in vibrant acrylics, with genuine 22-karat gold foil applied selectively to ornaments and divine elements, making them ideal for modern apartment walls where weight and specific mounting needs are considerations.
Our fusion collection bridges the gap between classic Indian spirituality and contemporary interior design. While signature Tanjore paintings are heavy and rigid, our canvas series offers a lighter alternative that retains the sacred beauty of 22-karat gold foil and semi-precious stone work. Each piece begins on a high-quality cotton canvas, where our artists paint the deity—such as Lord Murugan, Ranganatha Swamy, or the Shiva Family—using heavy-body acrylics for depth and contrast.
We then apply the traditional 'muck work' and gold foil only on the jewelry, crowns, and specific divine symbols. This results in a stunning contrast where the flat, modern canvas background makes the golden details pop even more than in a fully embossed painting. These pieces are particularly popular for living rooms and hallways where you want a cleaner, more minimalist look without losing the 'divine' energy of traditional craft.
Because these are created in our own studios in Bangalore and Coimbatore, we can customize the size to fit your wall perfectly. Whether you prefer a gallery wrap with no frame or a modern black box frame, we build it to your preference. We also offer customization for specific deities or color palettes to match your home's interior theme.
