Description

In the artist’s work, reality mingles with the world of his dreams. Though realism surfaces in Burman’s paintings, often in the form of past and present members of his own family in India and France, he constantly and assuredly returns to the dream world. On Burman's canvases, one finds mythical creatures that tell ancient tales of courtly romances, bringing alive an enchanting world of comely maidens, children astride elephants, flutists, fruit laden trees, exotic flowers, birds and beasts; a lost paradise, where all creatures dwell in harmony. Each work is captivating, luminescent and delicate. Working in his Paris atelier, Burman is in close communion with this private universe of enchanting creatures. Engaging with grace and beauty, he creates a sense of tranquility in his art.
