Project for St+art India

Artist Yessiow’s mural in Kannagi Nagar - the largest she has ever painted - is a message of deep love for India, and a celebration of all its aspects she has come to cherish. 
 
Having come to India for the third time as part of her travel journey, Yessi has stayed for almost a year owing to the pandemic. Her artwork in Kannagi Art District is inspired from the experiences and memories she has accumulated during her time here. Incorporating elements such as corals, algae and flowers that resonate with Kannagi’s demographic (comprising largely fisherfolk), the painting symbolises the kindness and hospitality of the local inhabitants. 
 
Referencing Kannagi Art District’s overarching theme of ‘People and Environment’, the artwork is an ode to India, its people and their warm, welcoming dispositions.
