“Folk form and feel come to my painting as naturally as the tune of folk songs that springs from the depth of the folk singer’s heart. I try to achieve the same simplicity and directness in my work.” Meticulous and defined, the creative portrait of a native young seller with a musical instrument displays the Indian country life, its rustic liveness and the balmy season of the year. The painting is represented in a folk style, generating a metaphor and precise essence of the indigenous and rural sustenance and growth.
