Women Preparing Roti (Indian Bread)

Embers of Home by Mahaveer Swami offers a warm and intimate look at two women preparing roti beside a gentle hearth. The artwork captures the soft rhythm of daily cooking, shaped through quiet gestures, layered fabrics and the glow of rising heat. Their poised movements and subtle expressions bring a sense of calm focus to the scene, turning a simple task into a moment of shared presence.

Created on layered handmade paper, the work uses natural pigments and pure gold ink to build soft light, refined contours and delicate warmth. Swami’s miniature detailing remains precise yet tender, reflecting the beauty of everyday rituals that sustain both body and companionship.

Why This Artwork Stands Out:

• A graceful depiction of cooking as a shared ritual
• Gentle textures created through natural pigments and gold ink
• Warm tonal harmony that feels grounded and comforting
• Ideal for collectors who appreciate quiet domestic storytelling through traditional miniature craft
