Neeraj's Worli Painting in Russian Folk Art


This bright panel is hand-painted in Old Russian design style, called Gorodets. Gorodets relies on folk motifs and lively primary color. The Wooden Panel has its own style and is not only article of art, but also a good remembering gift. This is a craft with one hundred and half year’s history, alive developing phenomenon of Russian modern national culture strongly connected both with the past and the present life of the people.



The artist Tataniya has written in it behind the painting in Russian-which goes like this - those who live in the heart of their loved ones never ever die.


On neeraj

"Constraint removed at length—he too has passed
far from his native land and from this world
to meet the Saviour. Look! He strides once more,
greeting this one and that who loved him well:-
cries out and leaps, runs up, his strength regained"

- Kamla
