The Eternal Faith- Devotional art describes the phase of separation of two lovers. Water colors have been used in this painting in bold hues. The style used in this punjabi artwork is realism. The sense of longing can clearly be felt from this art work. The way the woman looks into the sky makes the viewer understand the yearning for her loved one. The separation has turned day into months and months into years.
Additionally, the sky is painted dark. The darkness is a symbol of the woman’s long wait for her lover, for all she wants is his companionship. She does not care about the world or the society because she has heard enough of their taunts. It feels as if numbness has engulfed her sense of being. In addition to this, the artist has tried to portray the grief that has enveloped her after a prolonged period of time. Furthermore, the viewers might witness her eyes stating–“You are the only ocean I wanna dive in. You are the only forest that I want to lose myself in”. She says this staring into the depths of the vast sky- hoping that her words would reach her loved one.
On the contrast, here, the orange color of her clothes represent the flame of hope that still burns within her. The desire and the expectations of the woman would be fulfilled soon as she knows that she is being tested by the time. A sense of renewal has been depicted by the creator in this traditional painting.
