Description

This vibrant painting captures an intimate moment between two characters from the traditional Indian dance drama, Kathakali. The figure on the left is adorned in the signature elaborate makeup and costume of a Kathakali performer, with a green-painted face symbolizing the noble and heroic character archetype. The woman beside him, dressed in a colorful sari, exudes grace and tenderness as she gazes at him with affection. The artist skillfully uses rich colors and intricate details to bring out the cultural significance of the performance and the emotional depth between the characters. The dark backdrop highlights the figures, drawing attention to the ornate costumes and expressions, immersing the viewer in the world of classical Indian dance.

Art by Jesfer Pulikkathody

Mouth Artist from India

Jesfer Pulikkathody Kottakkunnu was born on 2 January 1985 in Malappuram, a small town in Kerala, India. He has been suffering from muscular dystrophy for the past several years, which means almost all of his entire body is paralyzed from the neck down. While still at school, he painted using his hands. But due to the progression of the disease, he had to quit school. Over the years he learned to write and paint with his mouth. After reading the autobiography of the then president of India, Dr Abdul Kalam, he was deeply inspired and touched that he painted the President’s portrait and had the opportunity to present it to him personally. He continues to paint with the same enthusiasm even today, supporting his wife and 4 year old son.
