“What travels in the mind of a sleeping child?There’s a smile at the corner of your lipsAre you having a sweet dream?Are you playing with angels in heaven?Are you dancing barefooted in the garden of angels?”
A bundle of joy, the sleeping child in this acrylic on canvas carries immense sweetness in his presence. Laid down on the bed, with a pillow and blankets fortifying him, the child’s back faces the onlooker, but his pose and surroundings convey a sense of calm. In the warmth and safety of his home, the child has dozed off, a simple scene that Mahima Katiwal has conveyed on her canvas with details that elevate its value. The use of contrasting and complementing shades to create the elements of the room and the use of darker shades gives a pleasing perspective to the painting, which to the onlooker feels like a window, opening into a world of calm and unbothered existence, that the presence of the sleeping child embodies.
