Gorkha Durbar

Artist:

Acrylic on canvas
2023

I have always wanted to paint the birthplace of Prithvi Narayan Shah, the person who envisioned Gorkha-Nepal unification. Especially the art, culture, festivals, architecture and geography there attracted my heart. I have tried to depict those subjects in my paintings in this exhibition. I feel that it’s not a big deal to just take a picture and paint it down as it is. One also needs to put in their emotions, feelings, expression into their artwork while harmonizing with the colours. While painting, it is absolutely necessary to study the geographical environment of the place. That is why, I have tried to present the effect of the local colours of Gorkha more prominently in this collection. I have presented my emotions and the beauty I saw there through my eyes via my paintings.
