Raja Ravi Varma: Crypto Lady- A Tribute to Raja Ravi Varma

The Portrait of a Maharashtrian Lady holding a plate full of fruits is another one of Raja Ravi Varma's masterpieces!

Varma traveled the length and breadth of India for his subjects. The Maharashtrian Lady is a portrait of an unknown woman who posed for Varma. Varma was skilled in using oil colors for painting Indian skin tones and the vibrant colors of the women’s silk saris.

The lady's gaze is direct and fixed at the spectator suggesting self-confidence. The fruit platter represents fertility combined with the sensuality of the female subject.

My tribute to Ravi Varma replaces the fruit place with symbols of the new world, Cryptocurrency! It represents the self-confident women of NFT who are not afraid to make a name for themselves.

Crypto Lady- Made with pixels, executed with reverence!
