Ganesh pt.2 

Rajesh Maheshwari's "Ganesh" artwork is an abstract composition that intertwines symbolism with various elements against a lime-colored backdrop. Within this artwork, different elements symbolize significant aspects. A reflective pink pearl, fractured in half, represents Safed Ladoo, while a sparkling white diamond at the bottom left signifies a battle call Seashell associated with Ganesh. Blue streaks symbolize water, an irregular brown streak portrays mustard oil, and layers of green represent plants. Spotted blue Vindu Kala on a yellow base symbolizes Seeds. The centerpiece of the artwork is an abstract portrayal of Ganesh, depicted by a thick dark blue curve forming Ganesh’s trunk, surrounded by concentric white and blue circles for his side eye. The painting's color palette predominantly features yellow, olive green, saffron, and blue. Divided into three sections, the composition consists of an upper third, a middle section, and a lower third further subdivided into four equal parts, forming three semi-cones. Each segment carries specific color combinations, like yellow, pastel olive green with a white pearl, saffron-yellow with black, and more, symbolizing different aspects within the artwork. The upper part features a diagonal composition with various color divisions, each representing symbolic elements like creation, nature, and water.
