Art Description (What inspired you to create the artwork?) Mohrakashi is a Punjabi fresco tradition which rose to popularity in the 18th century when the initiative was taken by Maharaja Jassa Singh Ahluwalia (1718–83) and Misl Sikh chieftains to restore Darbar Sahib (Amritsar, India) , which still remains today. The expansion of Mohrakashi at this time gave rise to the Sikh school of art, with frescoes dominated by floral and foliage themes influenced by the Kangra school of painting. The stone pigments in a water-based solution are carried inside the plaster and set as the plaster dries, producing incredibly durable artworks that can last thousands of years. Mohrakashi frescoes decorate gurudwaras, temples, cenotaphs, havelis, dharamshalas, and ankharas throughout Punjab and other states of India.
Marigold as my inspiration and together with this traditional technique I created this artwork on handmade paper.
