Painting # 47

'Shivohum Eternal and Four Element' 

by 

Shivani Ratra

This absolutely divine painting is by my dear friend,artist,poet,writer,designer ... Shivani.            

                                                                                                                                         
 A detailed artwork in mixed medium where Acrylic Colors, Relief Work and Water   colors have been meticulously used.

The more you look at this artwork the more interesting it becomes.

One starts by looking at the beautiful eye symbolizing Goddess Parvati - 

Then as we take in the brilliant blue symbolizing Lord Shiva we cannot miss the beautiful calligraphy work used to denote the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra - (A powerful chant from the  Rigveda which is known as the Great - Death Conquering Mantra.)

This brilliant artwork generates a  sense of faith in a higher eternal reality .   

Look at it a little longer and it reminds us of a power that  lies within us all  -  The power to defeat our problems , the power to be a better version of what we are.

Exhibited at the India Art Fair 2017 in New Delhi ,  this painting is a brilliant example of original expression - something I have come to associate with Shivani over so many years.

 She is one of those artist who  experiments boldly and  creates freely . 

Something which every true artist aspires to achieve - Soulful Expression!
