“Timir” Hand-Drawn Narrative Batik Fine Art

The Light in the Dark: “Timir” (2018)

Experience the depth of traditional storytelling with “Timir”, a monumental 2018 batik work. Measuring an impressive 24″ x 48″, this piece explores the themes of ritual, sacrifice, and the duality of light and shadow. The central imagery of a bull’s silhouette amidst rising flames is surrounded by handwritten Bengali verses, adding a literary and spiritual dimension to the visual art.

Expertly crafted using the wax-resist batik method on cotton fabric, the textile has been professionally pasted on a rigid board, making it ready for immediate high-end display. The intense color palette and the intricate crackle of the wax-resist technique bring a raw, visceral energy to the composition, capturing the true essence of “Timir.”

• Ready-to-Display: The fabric is permanently mounted on board, ensuring the artwork remains perfectly flat and structurally sound.
