Suksari

The artist has titled the fourth painting as Suksari. He has painted a very young yogi, a parrot, and a tree. The yogi is a symbol of a common man. He is an ardent follower of Shri Ram. He is holding a parrot very lovingly in his hands. The tree in the background is a very old tree and the artist has given the indication with a number of knots in the tree, it represents time. The tree has beautiful new red leaf and parrots in every branch. The new leaves in an old tree signify that many yuga have passed but the present is new and beautiful. The green parrot that the young yogi is holding has Rama Rama written with red on its neck instead of plain red mark. The parrots in all branches of the tree signify the presence of Shri Ram in all ages. Every time the world awakens and Treta yuga begins, Vishnu descends from the sky as Rama so that every generation realizes the point of human existence. The name Rama hides the entire truth of this universe. The name means life as well as death signifying that these are two sides of the same coin. The name Rama means life Rama Ra-Ma, Ra, Ma, Ra, Mara, Mara…… which means death. The yogi being devotee of Rama is enjoying life whole heartedly and will also accept death happily. Life is just a wave in the river which never ceases to exist, it just changes the place. The artist has painted a river with old rocks in the bank, the rocks has become round and smooth with the passage of time. The river with new waves and new flowing water is always new going round the old rocks. The waves are simple, superbly painted by the artist. It is a unique amalgamation of linear drawing and different colour tones. The use of soft smoothing colour tones of blue violet and grey expresses artistic excellence and decorative elegance. The yogi has beautifully curved eyebrow, long lotus petal shaped eyes, sharp nose, smiling lips, double chin with oval face and a very tender expression. The artist has painted the yogi with three-fourth face, who has good physique, shaven head, long neck with two strings of tulsi beads and a hole in the earlobe. The background is unique as there is no horizon to differentiate between the sky and earth; still the distinction is clearly visible. The colour tone is fluid as if one colour is flowing into another.
