French born artist Maite Delteil is better known in India as Sakti Burman's wife and Maya Burman's mother. Curiously, she has used her daughter as a take-off for one on canvases, which depicts a sleeping woman who draws the viewer into the dream world of the painter. Apart from the canvases that portray female figures, Maite Delteil depicts trees teeming with birds and laden with fruit. Her work is also strongly influenced by the Indian Mughal miniatures.Images from here.

it seems so openly expressed in the three images you put here--the woman young and dreaming is herself like the other words you say, "trees teeming with birds and laden with fruit".
ReplyDeleteShe is the all. The fruit, the beauty, the color, the sleep, the bounty awake, the worm, the song. Its a great pairing you give!
Thanks.
Mansuetude , thats quite poetic :) I understand the inherent meaning of how these things are exactly as they should be.
ReplyDeletei think the inherent "balance" of your post gave to me a rememberance of the inherent wholeness of life--the cycle; all in one fast glimpse. Art doesn't get often much better than that. :)
ReplyDeletethe art you choose and the choice of your post's offering... etc. I thank you.
wow, if that isn't a compliment I don't know what is. The appreciation is mutual. :)
