The Persistence of Memory by Dali - A modern take

 

I have always been a huge fan of Dali and surprisingly, never reproduced any of his works even for a hobby. This Sunday I thought of giving it a shot and re-imagined Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" with a more modern approach. With just a simple change of replacing the wavy clocks by mobile phones, it correlates both the title of the piece with the modern style of living. The Mobile phone is something we are keeping in our daily lives and involuntarily has become our "persistence of memory" our lives.

The size of the piece is 8"x8" and has been made in water colors (Camel + Ladoga)

Re-start!

It's been a while since I wrote anything and I have started to feel a void inside me as writing gradually eroded from my life. This year I have promised myself to do more art, write more stuff and get healthier and wealthier at the same time.

I had a fabulous start to the year as I made my first Artwork in quite sometime. Thanks to an inspirational pic posted by a friend on Instagram. Quite surprising that I can still do art is relatively lesser time which means I need to practise and do more.

Iron Man & Hello Kitty in Acrylic

I did this painting for a very close friend who got married recently. Both of them like Iron Man and my friend likes Hello Kitty a lot. Hence, I gifted her this painting on her wedding. It is done in acrylic on canvas. For the first time, I am sharing a series of photographs which shows how I made this one. The total time taken to complete it was around 30 hours.

Sacred lamp

This is a painting based on the names of my best friend and his wife. Since he is a physicist, I thought of making a manifestation of Higgs boson [my imagination] on a lamp[meaning of his wife's name]. The boson is formed by the interference of the rays.

The Bell Curve on an illusion platform

Stumpy

Another illusion based on the ICC Mascot Stumpy. It contains a seaview and the view of a cricket stadium. One perspective shows Stumpy in the cricket ground. The other perspective shows a piranha attacking a diver. There is a hidden bat too. :D

Rose Day!

I have started experimenting with illusions. :-)
