A muscular individual is depicted in a crouched position, struggling under the immense weight of what appears to be a large, green-foliaged world on their back against a vibrant blue background. The strain is evident in the person's stance and expression, invoking the ancient myth of Atlas carrying the world.
In Kartick Dutta's poignant painting, "Burden of Existence," the viewer is confronted with a striking depiction of the human struggle against the weight of life itself. A muscular figure is portrayed in a crouched position, their sinewy form straining under the colossal load they bear upon their back. This burden, reminiscent of the Earth itself, is a dense and verdant world, its lush green foliage contrasting against the vivid blue expanse of the background.
The imagery evokes the timeless myth of Atlas, condemned to support the heavens upon his shoulders. Yet here, the burden is not merely celestial, but encompasses the entirety of existence, symbolized by the thriving world the figure carries. The individual's expression is one of determined resolve mingled with palpable strain, their features etched with the weight of responsibility and endurance.
Through this masterful portrayal, Dutta invites contemplation on the human condition, the burdens we carry, and the resilience with which we confront them. "Burden of Existence" serves as a powerful reminder of the endurance of the human spirit amidst the trials and tribulations of life.
