Marble Lotus is thrilled to announce the launch of its inaugural online art gallery exhibit in September 2024. Since its inception, Marble Lotus has been dedicated to offering exquisite custom-made Pichwai paintings from India. However, founder Soni envisioned Marble Lotus as more than just a destination for Pichwai art. She aimed to create a space where people can discover art that resonates with their identity—art that speaks to who they are on a deeper level.
At Marble Lotus, we understand that South Asia boasts a rich tapestry of art forms. The region is renowned for its diverse artistic expressions, including calligraphy, sculpting, and painting to name a few. Each of these art forms has evolved over thousands of years with cultural influences from South Asia’s multi-ethnic landscape. Beyond these traditional forms, India offers a wealth of photography-worthy sights, from the ornate palace doors of Jaipur to the serene landscapes of Kerala. While modern cameras capture many of these scenes, historical heritage paintings have immortalized the gardens of Vrindavan and scenes from the Mughal courts. Behind this endless flow of art are the talented artists of South Asia and its diaspora. South Asian artwork has the power to connect us with various facets of our identity, which is why Marble Lotus strives to be the go-to source for pieces that resonate with your roots. We are eager to explore these themes in our upcoming online exhibits.
Our debut exhibit, 'Strokes of South Asian Femininity', is a tribute to the diverse shades of South Asian womanhood. This collection is deeply personal, reflecting the identity of our founder, Soni. It proudly showcases the work of South Asian female artists, featuring vibrant colors, delicate brushstrokes, and mixed media that each tell a unique story and enhance any space.
In curating this collection, we aimed to capture the multifaceted essence of the South Asian female identity. Our exhibit presents both traditional depictions of Indian women and contemporary interpretations of the 'Brown Girl'. Beyond physical representation, the exhibit also explores abstract concepts of female identity, such as the fluid nature of the soul and forms of oppression.
We invite you to join us in celebrating these powerful expressions of South Asian femininity and to connect with art that reflects and enriches your identity.
