It began with Nandi, Shiva’s vehicle. My mythological bulls, painted in varied moods - playful, pensive, dominant - become storytellers of many lives. Set against symbols like the lotus or Ganesha, they gain heroic presence, embodying joy, anger, agony, and the spirit that mirrors our own humanity.

H.R. Das compelling portrayals of bulls and village life celebrate the raw power and poignant spirit of rural India. Through vibrant compositions and commanding animal figures he brings myth culture and emotion into conversation on his canvases. H.R. Das is a contemporary Indian artist whose work has become synonymous with the majestic bull a figure he has elevated from the ordinary to the iconic. Das brings an unflinching gaze and deep empathy to his depictions of rural life. His bulls are not just animals they are avatars of strength struggle and pride pulsating with vitality and emotion. With bold lines and dynamic forms he captures their muscular tension their grace and their almost-human expressions be it in agony defiance or exuberance. Das distinctive style and recurring symbolism reflect a deep reverence for the bulls role in Indian agrarian culture and mythology. At once grounded and exalted his work straddles the line between realism and allegory. But Das genius doesnt stop at the figure. His canvases are choreographed like stage plays where each backdrop is not filler but narrative. The intricately textured backgrounds hold space like quiet witnesses mud walls muted motifs fragments of village life inviting us to look closer to hear the hum of rural India. Through his work the commonplace becomes heroic and the rural so often ignored demands reverence.
