Paintings of Poonam Chandrika Tyagi, there manifests a world, which is infested with ancient myths, primordial energies of Eros, representations of erotic and sublime passions. An iconic woman who is almost like a contortionist’s disciple floats and occupies the pictorial space, which evokes a sense of Indian mural traditions. She is a ‘Nayika’ in a strong traditional sense and a ‘rebel’ in a very contemporary sense.
