Hastinapur (Urban Pachyderms) Acrylic Fantasy Painting

Two elephants, hollowed into cross-sections of compacted architecture, collide like moving districts—an allegory of how the city’s weight migrates into the body, turning living presence into infrastructure and commodity. The cool, open field of blue isolates the clash, making the saturated blocks of color read as both playful and unsettling, while the chevroned road at the bottom acts as a visual metronome that accelerates the sense of inevitable impact. Tiny onlookers—camera crews, a parked vehicle, a suspended traffic light—stage the scene as spectacle, suggesting that modern conflict is managed, recorded, and consumed even as it tramples the organic. In this surreal tableau, urban progress becomes a trained animal: monumental, performative, and precariously tethered to control.
