Gajanand: The Blissful Form of the Cosmic Dancer

This captivating artwork features a stylized depiction of Lord Ganesha, hand-painted on a natural slice of wood. The form is minimalist yet deeply expressive, blending traditional symbolism with modern aesthetics. Rendered in bold, contrasting colors — vibrant oranges and yellows for the body, and a deep blue for the trunk and ears — the figure radiates a sense of movement, joy, and divine playfulness.

The rounded, circular composition evokes balance and completeness, while the raised hand in blessing and the laddu in the other symbolize both protection and prosperity. The green background with yellow floral motifs grounds the divine form in nature, emphasizing harmony with the earth. Ganesha’s trunk curls with grace, and his body posture suggests a dance-like rhythm, embodying the spirit of Ananda (bliss).

Painted directly onto a natural wood slice, the piece retains the texture and rawness of its medium, giving it an earthy and organic presence. Displayed on a small easel, this artwork becomes both a sacred object and a contemporary art piece, ideal for spiritual corners, modern homes, or art collectors with a love for Indian culture and symbolism.
