This painting offers a unique glimpse into my cultural heritage, with a particular focus on the elegance and timeless beauty of the traditional Asian bride. This project is a celebration of the beauty in the rituals and customs that Asian brides follow on their journey into marital life. I focused on specific elements to highlight the many cultural motifs that are intrinsic to traditional Asian bridal customs. The detailed swirls and lines of henna on the bride’s hands symbolise thousands of years of cultural significance that have stood the test of time. The tradition of drawing henna remains of great importance today. Through a combination of gold leaf embellishments and vivid colours, I pay homage to my Asian heritage and its diverse customs.
