My paintings revolve around female form. She is ‘Prakriti’, symbolic of fertility, progress, growth, prosperity, flow of life and essence of life. Here she holds Lotus in her hand which in itself is a very sacred symbol in all religions worldwide. Its characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition: even when its roots are in the dirtiest waters, the Lotus produces the most beautiful flower. Lotus symbolizes prosperity, beauty, fertility, eternity and eternal youth, purity and divinity, self-regeneration and rebirth. It also symbolizes purity of speech, mind and body- rising above the waters of desire and attachment and attaining spiritual perfection and complete mental purity. |
