The crackle effect in batik printing is achieved by applying a layer of wax onto the fabric before dyeing. The wax resists the dye, creating fine cracks in the final design. In the depiction of Meditating Lord Shiva on cotton cloth, this crackle technique adds depth and texture to the artwork.
The cracks symbolize the transcendence of time and space, mirroring Shiva's eternal meditation. Notably, the half-closed eyes of Lord Shiva are the focal point, captivating viewers with their serene and introspective gaze. Through the skillful use of batik and attention to detail, this painting evokes a sense of divine presence and spiritual contemplation.
