“Elephant in Mosaic Gold”

The Picture Wall – Mughal Mosaic Series

Inspired by the magnificent Picture Wall of Lahore Fort, this artwork reinterprets one of the grandest mural façades of the Mughal era. Known for its intricate kashi kari tiles, fresco panels, and narrative imagery, the Picture Wall stands as a testament to imperial craftsmanship and artistic ambition.

This piece captures the spirit of those historic mosaic frescoes — where geometry, flora, animals, and ornament merge into layered storytelling. Through hand-rendered detail and textured technique, the artwork evokes the depth, rhythm, and luminous color palette of the original Mughal surface.

A tribute to Lahore’s architectural heritage, this framed piece brings a fragment of the fort’s timeless grandeur into contemporary spaces.
