In the current exhibition, Ankeet focuses on the elephant – the epitome of royalty, spirituality and power. He gets philosophical as he dresses his elephant as a Mahavat does – with jewellery and colours and ponders on the symbolism in the mahavat-elephant relationship.

Trying to find the mahavat in each one of us, the artist nuances at the world of metaphors that lies deep within the character of the elephant - fidelity and longevity, solitude, strong sense of loyalty to the family, stability, connection to ancient wisdom, confidence, patience...   

“My paintings are a representation of being royal and spiritual; at the same time, conceptual. Each painting has an individual and unique symbol behind it. The real endeavour in creating this series was to characterize my visual; it is simply the acceptance of the experience. I relate to each visual as a process; building my thoughts within levels of realization, maturing as I move on,” concludes Ankeet.
