Kolam - Painting of Lady making kolam

Kolam - Acrylic painting on canvas. This beautiful painting of a lady making kolam is to represent the daily tribute to harmonious co-existence. In olden days, kolams were drawn in coarse rice flour, so the ants can have them for a meal. The rice powder also invites birds and other small creatures to eat it, thus welcoming other beings into one's home and everyday life: a daily tribute to harmonious co-existence. It is a sign of invitation to welcome all into the home.
