Raja Ravi Varma: Tilottama- The Celestial Nymph by Raja Ravi Varma

Tilottama is a painting by the legendary Indian artist, Raja Ravi Varma. She is a celestial nymph from Indian mythology, depicted partially undressed in a red saree, flying to the heavens.

With her one hand raised and the other holding together her floating saree, she embodies grace, beauty and voluptuous curves, all that is seen in Ravi Varma’s paintings. In the painting she is also seen playing with a ball.

According to Hindu mythology, Tilottama, was created at Brahma's request to destroy two demon brothers Sunda and Upasunda, who could not be killed by anyone except themselves. The two brothers were so captivated by her beauty, that they fought over her and killed each other.

My pixelated tribute to Raja Ravi Varma replaces the ball with an Ethereum. The celestial nymph plays with an Ethereum as she flies to the moon, a true representation of the future of the NFT space and cryptocurrency.

Made with pixels, executed with reverence!
