Late Kashinath Jena (1943- 2011)’s paintings are imaginative, modern, folk, and traditional, all at the same time. He uses bright colors to depict rural serenity.
This mix media painting is a part of his Krishna series where most of the paintings have figurative art style with the women (Gopikas dancing around him) in their simplicity. There is a story which is clearly visible at the first look at the painting.
