The artist's latest collection is a travelogue of his journey within the country and exploring his hometown of Kumbakonam further. Sivabalan's paintings also toy with nativity and rural villages, especially scenes from the southern villages he grew up around. His works capture everyday scenes and movements, without filters or divulging too many details.
Everyday Blessings by Watercolorist Sivabalan
Sivabalan's work is all about flirting with opposites. With his signature style of white background in his watercolor works, he captures the authenticity, realism, and heterogenicity of the rural portraits. His paintings depict scenes such as elephant procession, everyday prayers, women carrying pots, and festive carnivals. The artworks bring alive the animated hustle and are an ode to India and its many nuances.
