ABOUT THE ARTWORK

According to the Hindu mythology, Vaaman (the dwarf) for was one of Lord Vishnu's incarnation in order to defeat Raja Bali. Vishnu appears at this ceremony as a dwarf mendicant Brahmin called Vamana. When Vamana's turn comes to receive a gift, Mahabali offers him whatever riches and material wealth he would like, but Vamana refuses everything and states he would just like three paces of land. Mahabali finds the dwarf's request amusingly small and irrevocably grants it. Vamana then grows into a giant of cosmic proportions. In one step he covers the earth and the underworld, in another the heavens, and for the third, Mahabali offers his head on which Vamana steps, sending the demon king to the Patala (netherworld)

Artist based in India. Wife. Mother. Date of Birth: 29 September 1964 in Roorkee, Uttarakhand (then Uttar Pradesh) They say that a woman's career is often cut short and restricted by various aspects like childbirth, marriage, motherhood, which act as an obstacle in achieving success. But women like Prabha, by re-entering and restarting her career at the age of 47, are setting a precedent for women not only in India, but across the world by saying that as long as you have a positive open minded attitude towards life and keep bitterness and hopelessness at bay, you can fully use any or all opportunities that life throws at you from time to time.Opportunities don't come into your life knocking doors, one needs to look out for them constantly and act on it. The story of Prabha Sharma isn't any different. Despite showing promise and potential as a young art student, her commitment and attention to her married life and family kept her away from her art career for almost 25 years. But when opportunity came, soon after her daughters left for college, she found it in herself to again plunge herself into the art scene, armed with an unwavering enthusiasm and the unconditional support of her loving family.
