N.S. BENDRE

Oil on canvas (36 x 36 inches)

This contemplative work from the Bird and Mountain series by Jagdish Swaminathan reflects the artist’s lifelong engagement with nature, symbolism, and cosmic balance. Reduced to essential forms, the bird and mountain emerge as timeless archetypes, signifying freedom, permanence, and the quiet rhythm of the natural world.

Swaminathan’s restrained palette and meditative composition invite stillness and reflection, positioning the work within his mature philosophical vision, where geometry, myth, and landscape converge into a universal visual language.

This lyrical figurative work by N.S. Bendre reflects the artist’s sensitivity to mood, movement, and quiet human emotion. Rendered in a soft, pointillist texture and a gentle pastel palette, the composition evokes serenity and introspection, hallmarks of Bendre’s mature style and his poetic engagement with everyday life.

The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by noted art historian Ratan Parimoo, a close personal friend of the artist and an important member of the Baroda Group, enhancing its scholarly and historical significance.
