What happens when something meant to be held in the hand is painted large enough to surround you? This workshop begins with the Indian miniature — its jewel-like intricacy, floating space, and rhythmic design — and asks what happens when those principles are expanded onto a painter’s scale.
In this workshop, students will explore the structure of Indian miniature painting by enlarging its scale — revealing the underlying systems of rhythm, geometry, and space that give these works their enduring resonance. Through guided analysis and reinterpretation, participants will examine how these compositional logics differ from and connect to Western pictorial traditions. The act of painting becomes a form of translation: from intimate to monumental, from decorative to spatial, from devotional to observational. By the end of the workshop, students will not only gain a deeper understanding of how paintings are built, but also how culture, belief, and scale shape the way we see.
The goal is not imitation, but conversation — between traditions, between seeing and believing, and between the intimate and the monumental. This workshop is ideal for painters, draftsman and art enthusiasts interested in composition, cultural hybridity, and the ways in which different visual traditions can inform one another. Open to all levels of experience.
