    Shakti Painting by Surashree Rabadia

    Shakti Oil Painting

    Shakti Oil Painting

    Surashree Rabadia's vivid oil painting depicts Shakti, the concept of feminine energy and creation. The artist has chosen to personify Shakti as the female figure in the center of the painting. Subtle symbols stretch across the entire painting, while 5 main symbols grab our attention. A trident reminds us of Shiva's three roles as creator, destroyer, and preserver. Below the trident sits a vessel, which has multiple meanings ranging from an overflowing of good fortune to fertility. Strength anchors the painting and is shown through the ferociousness of the tiger. The tiger's power is balanced by the delicate blush-colored lotus flower representing beauty and purity. Lastly, the sound of a conch shell signifies the beginning, or creation, of an important event. Contrasting colors captivate the viewer and help us to understand the complexity of Shakti. Framed.

    Hanuman Rescuing Sita Painting

    , ,

    This captivating painting tells the story of Hanuman travelling to Lanka to rescue the kidnapped Sita. After being captured, tied, and set on fire, Hanuman escapes and sets fire to the city. Though unable to rescue Sita, Hanuman ensures her safety before fleeing the city.

    The central figure of this image is immediately identifiable. Hanuman's vivid red body jumps out at the viewer and is set upon a dark green forest. The angle of the trees shows us how high and fast Hanuman moves across the city. The top portion of the painting depicts the city of Lanka on fire. While the colors are just as bold as Hanuman, the imagery is more subtle to remind us that Hanuman is the focus of this piece. Framed.
