Fine Art

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.
