Original artwork description:

The painting depicts a scene in the city of Varanasi - two women in saris are sitting on the threshold of a house. Their house is next to the Ganges River. I spied this scene during a trip to this sacred and colorful Indian city. I don’t know exactly who these women are to each other, but when I saw them, a finished composition was immediately born in my head. For me, this picture shows a story as ancient as the world - a mother comes to visit her daughter in the house where the girl got married, and the daughter tells her mother about the hardships of life in her husband's house. With this picture, I wanted to draw the attention of society to the difficult life of women, and especially those who live in a traditional society and according to the rules of a large patriarchal family.
Since the picture was painted in India, I bought the canvas and stretcher at the market, and not in the store. Therefore, when buying a painting, you have a chance to touch the real Indian aesthetics - despite the seeming unpretentiousness of the materials, the painting is stretched on a stretcher and executed perfectly.

The painting is covered with acrylic-styrene art varnish, resistant to fading and easy to care for.

The painting will be shipped carefully packed in a tube or box (on request)* with all necessary paperwork. Shipping will be by FedEx or DHL. Please note that additional fees may apply for obtaining artwork from your country or state customs.

*If you want to get the painting on a stretcher, that is also possible. Please note that this may increase the shipping cost by approximately two to three times. I can also frame this work, but this will also increase its volumetric weight and shipping costs. Please indicate your special requests for packaging and delivery, if any, when ordering.
