The peacock, a symbol of life's joys in Hebbar's artworks, is brought to life in this vibrant embroidery. The majestic tail and unfurled feathers are enhanced with raised stitches, translating the painting's abstraction into a stunning, tactile experience that celebrates the beauty of nature.
The peacock is a recurrent motif in Hebbar’s artworks, representing the joys of living.
The vibrant colour palette of this peacock dancing with its majestic tail is a reminder of nature’s glory!
The abstraction of the painting is beautifully translated through a myriad of thread and bullion techniques following the direction and the detailing of the brush strokes.
The unfurled feathers and the body of the peacock are enhanced with raised stitches giving them depth and dimension. This artwork took approximately 3000 hours of handwork to be completed.
