By The Window Sill

By the Window Sill
Mixed Media on Canvas | 24 x 30 inches

Step into a moment suspended in time with By the Window Sill — a richly textured mixed media painting by Nandita Desai. This evocative piece is part of a series of 12 works inspired by antique window, etchings and the quiet poetry of windowsills.

Crafted with jute on canvas, this artwork layers crochet, hand embroidery, appliqué along with painted flowers, and organic dried florals, creating a deeply tactile experience. Each element is thoughtfully placed, echoing the natural world peeking through a timeworn window — fleeting, delicate, and deeply rooted.

The rustic texture of jute contrasts with the softness of the embroidered and dried elements, inviting viewers to pause and reflect — as though standing beside a window with the breeze gently stirring petals past.

Nandita’s use of organic materials not only adds dimension but also makes each piece in the series inherently unique.
