I was drawn to the intricate details of the peacock doors at the Jaipur palace and wanted to translate that grandeur into a more tactile form. The piece is built on a foundation of deep emerald greens and royal blues, which pop against the shimmering gold background. I wanted to hold onto the feeling of a hidden, royal space, creating a visual rhythm that feels both ancient and alive.
The feathers are rendered with a sense of weight and texture, each one a small jewel of color that contributes to a larger, magnificent pattern. There is a sense of stillness here, a frozen moment of the bird's display, but the layered quality of the work gives it a sense of depth. It is a celebration of natural beauty framed by the architecture of a bygone era.
