Signed Acrylic Portrait Painting on Canvas Board, "Resilience"

Indian artist Shikha Kaistha creates this acrylic painting of a beautiful Indian woman wearing turmeric on her forehead, a common practice in India. In popular belief, the yellow spice is the symbol of the sun, good luck, and fertility. It also stands for inner strength, and embodies the artist's belief in the resilience of women everywhere. Modeling paste mixed with the paint adds texture and character.
