Tandava-The Dance of Destruction By Moulika Jonnala Mixed media on canvas. Burnt cotton, leaves, - SHIPS FROM UK - Title: DescriptionTandava: The Dance of Dissolution destruction is a mixed media work on canvas inspired by the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva as Nataraja. Rooted in sacred force, this dance is an embodiment of transformation — a clearing of illusion and ego to restore balance to the universe. The figure of Shiva is captured mid?leap, hair flaring like flame, surrounded by spirals of fire and smoke.To create a raw, tactile surface that conveys the elemental nature of this dance, the artist incorporates burnt cotton, leaves, paper, and burnt ground almonds, embedding these materials into the canvas alongside acrylic paint. Flecks of glitter catch the light like sparks of divine energy, intensifying the sense of movement and renewal. Tandava is both a visual and material homage to the cycle of destruction and creation, a moment of surrender where the act of painting becomes a performance — burning, breathing, and beginning anew.Artist Bio--Moulika Jonnala is a visual artist whose practice explores the intersection of culture, spirituality, and emotion through painting and mixed media.
