The Apsara

Raj Dongre
Enamel paint on CR metal sheet, 17” x 12.5”, €150

The apsara is the most beautiful lady in the Seven Heavens. If she’s coming out to welcome you personally, you must be really special. Truck owners want everyone who sees their truck to know that they are welcomed, no matter who they are. This painting is a symbol of undiscriminating warmth and brotherhood towards anyone and everyone.

Curator’s Note: According to Hinduism, there are 14 worlds in the universe—seven upper and seven lower. Bhuh (Earth) is the lowest of the upper worlds.
