Ganesha Tempera Religious Painting

Set against a field of vermilion that reads like both aura and alarm, this devotional image of Ganesha collapses cosmic presence into an intimate, almost domestic frontality. The symmetrical four-armed pose and crisp contouring establish a quiet authority, while the warm ochres and golds turn ornament into a language of auspicious weight—each attribute held with measured clarity rather than spectacle. Below, the small mouse anchors the divinity to the earthly plane, suggesting that wisdom and abundance are not distant ideals but companions to everyday thresholds and beginnings. The overall stillness feels less like portraiture than invocation, where color becomes mantra and the centered figure a gate through which uncertainty is gently reorganized into order.
