This painting is inspired by the Indian actress, the beautiful Rekha who played "Umrao Jaan" a courtesan of Lucknow in the movie of the same name. Umrao Jaan is a 1981 Bollywood film directed by Muzaffar Ali. Based on the 1905 Urdu novel Umrao Jaan Ada, the film tells the story of a Lucknow courtesan and her rise to fame and fall. As a child who is kidnapped in the year 1840 and sold to a lady running a brothel, the little girl is trained to be a singer-dancer and she grows up to be an accomplished poetess and a renowned courtesan, Umrao Jaan. The dancing courtesan would woe the well-to-do in the city. And the story continues. It is a very touching story, of a woman who pines to lead a normal life. A movie to be watched. For the story and the portrayal of Umrao Jaan by actress Rekha . I always wonder why the Governments of the countries in the world do nothing to save the lives of the women who have been forced into the flesh trade, even though they know very well where these brothels are run etc. The story is the same everywhere, children are kidnapped and sold to brothels. A life never their own. A life they never dreamt of, a million dreams of a normal life crushed for money-hungry men and women. . I dedicate this painting to Umrao Jaan and the score of women like her, lives wasted to work against their will. . Size: 8.25"x 11.25" approximately. Watercolors on handmade paper. Mat/frame not included. A perfect gift item for a sensitive dancer or a dance teacher! . Comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. All images are ©AshaSudhakerShenoy .

India
I am an eclectic painter from India who started out late in life to follow my passion. I embraced a diverse range of mediums, techniques, and styles to express my artistic vision. My artwork is a fusion of various influences, blending different elements and ideas to create unique and thought-provoking pieces. Through my art, I aim to capture the essence of diversity and individuality which is typical of my country. The process of creating art as a painter is an ongoing journey of exploration and experimentation. I continuously seek new techniques and concepts to challenge myself and push the boundaries of traditional artistic practices. This approach allows me to constantly evolve and grow as an artist, as I am not confined to a specific style or medium. In my artwork, I strive to evoke emotions and engage viewers on multiple levels. Each piece tells a unique story, inviting the audience to interpret and connect with the artwork in their own personal way. I aim to create art that is both visually captivating and intellectually stimulating. My art serves as a testament to my passion for artistic exploration embracing diversity and experimentation!
