ARTIST‘S GALLERY

In these columns we feature works of distinguished artists and lens persons. This week we feature artist Pawan Paagal.

Pawan Paagal’s paintings are all about portraits and nature. He mostly paints portraits of Gods and humans, and the forces of Nature because he believes that Nature is the truest manifestation of God. Last year he revived the painting work in the 400-year-old temple of Seshasayee Temple in the Braj Region. This temple was built by King Ballu of Ballabhgarh (Haryana) and it took Pawan one year to revive the paintings.
