Echoes of the Mudra By Moulika Jonnala Acrylic, Turmeric and kumkum on canvas 2025 - SHIPS FROM Middlesbrough, UK - Artist Bio---Moulika Jonnala is a visual artist whose practice explores the intersection of culture, spirituality, and emotion through painting and mixed media. Her work weaves together abstract, realistic, and surrealistic elements, creating pieces that invite viewers to connect deeply - as if reading a story embedded within layers of colour, texture, and symbol. Grounded in heritage and inspired by spiritual and traditional narratives, Moulika aims to evoke a sense of belonging and reflection. Through each piece, she encourages viewers to feel the materials, experience the emotions, and find themselves connected to the story that unfolds.TitleEchoes of the Mudra--Description--This is a mixed media painting that explores the sacred symbolism of hand gestures in Indian classical dance. The composition features two hands: one rendered in deep blue, symbolising Lord Shiva and cosmic energy, and the other in warm earth tones, representing the human presence that grounds the piece. This duality captures the interplay between the spiritual and the physical.The background is richly layered with mudras, Sanskrit inscriptions, and temple-inspired motifs, invoking the deep spiritual heritage these gestures carry. The use of traditional materials such as turmeric and kumkum imbues the work with a tactile and ritualistic quality, connecting it to the sacred space of performance. By combining acrylic with these elements, the piece becomes a visual and material expression of movement, memory, and devotion — where every gesture speaks beyond the body, as a prayer in motion.MediaAcrylic, Turmeric and kumkum on canvas Condition: Good Condition, as in images Dimensions: 80 x 60 cm
