"Akasha" 
 
Illuminating Visions Beyond the Veil 
 
Venture into the mystical domain of the divine with "Akasha," a visionary portrayal that combines elements of modern Byzantine style with the ethereal allure of angelic imagery. This painting is an embodiment of my interpretation of the guardian of the Akashic Records, which is an energetic library of information that contain the details of your soul and its journey. The idea was inspired by a wonderful 19th century artist named James Jebusa Shanon in his portrayal of Lady Violet. 
 
Radiating an otherworldly glow, the portrait is bathed in varied hues of gold leaf, creating a mystical aura. The composition's focal point, a figure gazing at the viewer, is highlighted by a circular Byzantine-inspired mandala, adding a layer of sacred symbolism. The woman's chest bears a gently pulsating heart symbol, an embodiment of universal love that transcends religious boundaries and serves as a reminder of our interconnected existence.

In my painting "Divine Love and Abundance", I sought to embody the divine love between the Hindu deities Vishnu and Lakshmi. I used a vibrant palette of radiant gold, apricot, delicate pink, cream, and vibrant blue, not only to depict the figures, but also to convey the sacred connection they share. 
Adorned with gold leaf, the deities' jewels and crowns radiate a unique richness. Golden coins fall from the sky, a clear symbol of abundance. The deep gaze and gentle gestures of Vishnu and Lakshmi bring their love to life. Enhancing their divine identity, traditional clothing and significant objects float amid the cosmos, seamlessly blending the celestial into a harmonious whole. 
I've also used an aura of light around Vishnu and Lakshmi to underline their beautiful connection and the gracefulness of their love, which I hope to radiate out to the viewers.

"Algerian Princess," an oil painting on a linen panel, powerfully illustrates the emergence of light from darkness. It presents an enigmatic portrait of a young woman imbued with the energy of an ancient elder shaman, a fusion suggesting a reincarnation of an ancient spirit from sacred times. The golden coins encircling her form a stark contrast to the deep shadows, highlighting the enduring luminosity of her spirit. This piece eloquently underscores the timeless cycle of rebirth and the endurance of spiritual wisdom.

"The Spirit of Winter," painted with oil on wood panel, embodies the resilience and raw beauty of winter. Imagining the season as a woman with an intense gaze and hair dancing like the cold wind, I aimed to capture not only her intensity but also her indomitable spirit and determination. She stands not merely as a representation of winter, but as an embodiment of strength and unwavering readiness for whatever comes next. Amid the serene quietude of her realm, preserved flowers speak of the winter’s promise of rebirth and resurrection, reminding us that beneath the frozen surface, life patiently awaits the return of spring.

In "Ancient Song of the Sun," I portray a woman whose serene expression floats within the cosmos, her hands acting as a gateway for the flux of cosmic energies.

Her triangular headdress, a symbol of trinity, further enhances the mystical undertone. This piece seeks to evoke a sense of mystery and profound connection to the divine in the viewer.
