"Naulakha Ceiling” - Original, Framed

Regular price $446.00

Watercolor on tea stained paper with compass and straightedge construction. The Naulakha Pavilion is part of the Lahore Fort in Pakistan. I have never been but the curved roof and white marble construction are very beautiful. Inside is and incredible ceiling. As part of my final geometry project when taking a semester virtually at VM Center for the Traditional Arts in collaboration with the then Prince's Foundation School of the Traditional Arts in London, we were asked to find a piece of Pakistani architecture and try to analize the how it would have been constructed and then to make and art piece from the construction. This was the challenge that I chose. I don't know if I'd be able to do it again now though.  ~9"x12" in and 11"x14" frame. The watercolor paper is not fully flat and despite how much I've tried to tape it to the matting, it has a little wimple on the right side. This could be fixed probably by mounting it with some spray glue on board but I thought this should be and election made by the final owner depending on their preference. Once mounted with glue, it may not be that reversible. The painting doesn't have any real gold in it but some of the watercolors have a sparkly shimmer.
