Seema Kohli Indian, b. 1960
Seema Kohli’s work speaks of her eager interest in mythology, although the mythological figurations do not represent religious inclinations. Her work is influenced by mysticism, spirituality, and mythology for the lore.
This painting by her is decorated with a background full of marigolds, a flower that is used to make garlands for the deities. Here, Lord Ganesha is seated on his vahan which is a mouse. Balancing on each of his thighs are seen two apsaras.
