'VINDA' painting. Lee's restaurant in Barcelona

click on the photo so you can see it bigger
   The complete painting

this painting base on three couples situated in a mexican restaurant in heart of Barcelona.  Lee and Araya in the middle, the couple from Venezuela on the right side.  Melissa, the writer on the front left  and the guy (maybe the waiter) at the back, looking out side. i was trying  to catch a brief moment of a situation and the  place. i took many photos  and use  photoshop to build up this 'brief moment' situation









The human figure and its details is the last one to do in the traditional Mughal painting. in some ways the creation of these painting is paralel to the creation of the world in Genesis (the first book of the bible). first you paint the background, then the animels and the human being is the last one to paint

VINDA is a mexican Restawrant in central of Barcelona.The painting done in Udaipur by Manish Kumar, composed in Haifa by (me) Hadass Tamir. the idea and inspiration started all in VINDA restaurant when i visited Barcelona in 2009
  
 This painting done on very thin silk using Mughal technique and style. the final touch done with very thin one hair brush, define the small delicate details, and with so much love and care . you must see and feel the real painting because there  is all kind of things and feelings  i can't even describe on screen and you can not get from a photo. the Materiality of the painting. the paint and the fine line ... almost blend with the silk but still remains a solid classical painting. once i did all the way to india to come close and learn more about this technique and the people who still doing it and keep this tradition over the years. Manish Kumar is one of them and this the way i met him in the  city Palace shop in Udaipur. i thanks him very much.
Manish Kumar, a painter and a friend who done this painting follow my instruction and the photos composition i sent to him. it was a long proces and now we both Can be satisfied.  The first painting completed..
