Kailas
This is a fine art pigment ink print on cotton rag archival quality paper of an original pen and watercolour painting by Dharsi de Silva. The word Kailas, derived from the Sanskrit word Kailash refers to the ability of the yogi to develop an understanding of their own true nature with a crystalline clarity. The word is also the name of a Himalayan mountain, visited by thousands of pilgrims world over, thought of as one of the homes of Lord Shiva, found in Tibet Autonomous Region of China. In this artwork, you will see that the crystalline structure forms the shape of a man's face with only a single eye to be seen. Above the eye, you will see three crystal pyramids. If you are curious to read further on the meaning behind the artwork, you'll find it at Dharshi's blog here.

How to care for your Art work
An eco-print painting does not fade as long as you treat it like a watercolour painting. It is essential to keep it away from direct sunlight and maintain low humidity in the room. Using an LED spotlight to illuminate the canvas is best, as extended exposure to fluorescent lighting can fade the colours. Additionally, the paintings are treated with several layers of art-grade matte fixative, which helps protect them. However, like with any fine art, it is advisable not to touch the canvas unless absolutely necessary.
