M.F. HUSAIN

Acrylic on canvas (39 x 48 inches)

This vibrant work from the Krishna series by M.F. Husain reimagines the divine figure of Krishna through Husain’s bold modernist language. Rendered in flattened planes of color and strong, expressive outlines, Krishna appears in motion, playing the flute, an enduring symbol of joy, rhythm, and spiritual harmony.

The electric blue ground, simplified forms, and dynamic composition reflect Husain’s ability to fuse mythology with contemporary aesthetics. Stripped of ornamentation yet rich in symbolism, the work transforms Krishna into a timeless, universal presence, embodying celebration, music, and the eternal dialogue between the divine and the human, central themes within Husain’s iconic Krishna series.
