Two birds in Batik and Kantha by Kartik Manna

This captivating Batik artwork by Kartik Manna features a beautifully printed background with two vibrantly colored birds embroidered in Kantha, perched gracefully on delicate branches. Meticulously crafted on cotton silk, the piece showcases a stunning blend of deep blues, oranges, and greens. The branches, drawn with an intricate network of fine lines, create the impression of a serene natural setting. The foliage, rendered in rich blue and green tones, adds depth and texture to the composition. The two birds, one adorned in striking orange and blue and the other in more subdued shades of blue and grey, serve as the focal point, symbolizing the quiet beauty of nature.

The complexity of creating this artwork lies in the multi-layered processes of both Batik and Kantha. The Batik technique involves applying wax to the fabric to resist dye, followed by careful dyeing and repeated waxing to achieve intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Meanwhile, the embroidered birds add another dimension, showcasing the meticulous stitching typical of Kantha work. This labor-intensive combination requires precision and patience, as each step must be executed with care to ensure the desired effects. The subtle crackling effect characteristic of Batik enhances the overall aesthetic, while the dark 3-inch border frames the scene beautifully, highlighting the intricate details of the design. This piece exemplifies the elegance and artistry achievable through the fusion of Batik and Kantha, making it a remarkable testament to these traditional crafts.

Border margin: 3 inch.
