Dharmendra Rathore

Author/Artist :Dharmendra Rathore Title :Dharmendra Rathore Size :39 x 27.5 inches

This painting presents a surreal and dreamlike composition where a reclining human face merges seamlessly with the natural landscape. The face, tinted in soft greens, lies across the canvas like a hill or mountain, blurring the boundaries between body and earth. Its closed eyes and gentle features suggest serenity, meditation, or deep sleep.

Inside the contours of the face, the artist has painted vivid bursts of red, yellow, and green, resembling an inner garden or a cosmos contained within the self—perhaps symbolizing the richness of the inner world. The figure exhales soft spirals of cloud-like breath, flowing calmly into the space, evoking a sense of rhythm, continuity, and spiritual energy.

Lotus flowers sprout around and upon the form, representing purity, renewal, and enlightenment. At the bottom right, a small white elephant carries a lotus in its trunk, an auspicious figure associated with wisdom, power, and sacred symbolism in South Asian traditions. Its miniature scale compared to the reclining figure emphasizes humility and reverence before the divine or cosmic presence suggested by the sleeping form.

The entire composition blends elements of myth, nature, and spirituality into a single meditative vision—where the human, divine, and natural worlds flow into one another in harmony.
