paint whatever you fancy. Feel free to get inspired from heritage, yet

Vinci,"painting is poetry that is seen" poetry is nothing but pure
emotion similarly art interlace emotion and expressions in its work.

passions and feelings. This means, any artist can convey his own vision
in his/her piece of work like a poet gives meaning to his own lines.

The origin of Indian art can be traced back to the time of Rigveda.
The artists of that time used to draw inspiration from nature. The
artists of ancient times used to find human eyebrows akin to two leaves
and bud. While a woman's hip remind them of an elephant's trunk. If you
