Ultimate-Sacrifice, Shanoor Devarj, 2021, acrylic on canvas, 30 x 24 in. / 76.2 x 60.96 cm.

Inspired by the rich beauty of the art of ballet, this painting becomes both an ode to the unimaginable sacrifice of dancers whose dedication keeps the tradition alive and an homage to the joy experienced by the audience. And their sacrifice enriches our lives in ways we so often take for granted.
