Mesmerised by history and the archaeological artefacts of those times, Umendra delves deeper to bring out a two-dimensional version of these objects on the canvas. For Umendra, physical remnants of the past serve as artistic expressions, cultural artefacts and windows into the past. These objects reflect the cultural heritage of various civilisations, providing insights into the beliefs, traditions and aesthetics. The knowledge of these ancient societies has been shared with us and is hidden in these remnants of history for us to decipher. By understanding past cultures and their practices, civilisation can better its future and preserve this ancient wisdom.
