Ram Kumar's artwork captures nature's raw beauty with abstract brush strokes that evoke the complexity of human emotions and life's ever-changing dynamics. Milaaya Art has meticulously recreated these elements using twisted yarns for realistic shading, and a blend of cotton and silk threads with bullion to add texture and depth. Techniques like satin stitch, spring stitch, knots, and chain stitch mirror the original brush strokes, bringing the artwork to life in a unique, tactile form.
Ram Kumar has captured the rawness of nature in this artwork with the abstract brush strokes reminding us that the beauty of nature cannot be defined in words or definite lines. The landscape may serve as a metaphor for human emotions, existential dilemmas, and the ever-changing dynamics of life.
Yarns of 2-3 colors are twisted together to achieve the realistic shading as in the original painting. A combination of cotton and silk threads and bullion is used to create textures and depth bringing the artwork to life. Variations of satin stitch, spring stitch, knots and chain stitch are used in a way to match the brush strokes. This piece took approximately 2500 hours of handwork to be completed.
