About the artwork

A Baba's Charm


Paintings. Oil on linen canvas.

Hand selected by our curators


A vivid portrayal of the Shiva Festival in Kathmandu, this collection captures the striking contrasts within the lives of the Babas. Pera Caroline translates their meditative presence, vibrant fabrics, and ascetic existence into expressive portraits. Through color and form, the works explore the tension between self-renunciation and personal identity, stillness and spectacle.
