Living in Painting

Embrace the playful nature of colours instead of fearing them.

Veerabhadra - The Destroyer

I present you VEERBHADRA, The destroyer Who knows the pain of separation more than Mahadev, One who is capable of destroying the world, Veerbhadra was created by the Jata of lord shiva in anger, He possess same strength as lord shiva. This painting represents the anger one we all have of loosing someone in our life, the one we explore when our loved one is separated from us, When you cry no matter what world think of you, when you try to hide those tears, And a Rudra Roop comes out, the form that is capable of destroying everything in seconds all that you have achieved over the time, you hardly care at that moment. This painting depicts everything that once you have faced, We all face the dark side in the life, Even if you are a god.

Panch Kedar

The Final Chapter

The Panch Kedar refers to a group of five sacred temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India. These temples—Kedarnath, Tungnath, Madmaheshwar, Rudranath, and Kalpeshwar—are connected by both their spiritual significance and mythological history, as they are believed to be the places where different parts of Lord Shiva’s body appeared after he disguised himself as a bull to evade the Pandavas. Each temple represents a unique aspect of Shiva, drawing pilgrims from around the world seeking blessings and spiritual enlightenment.

MOUNT KAILASH

The Energy Source

Mount Kailash is believed to be the Axis Mundi aka the cosmic axis, world axis, world pillar, centre of the world, the world tree. It is the point where heaven meets earth, I wanted to paint something from very long I decided to paint Adi Guru Shankaracharya, But that night I dreamed about Kailash Parwat and I decided to paint it, I woke up went to market bought paints and started to paint around 6:00 PM - I painted it till 4:00 AM and forgot that I have to eat also, I think that is the magic, At 4:00 I completed till bottom after that. The peak was finished till that time, after my dinner I started again and completed the painting at 6:30 AM. Coincidentally it was Kedarnath door closing day.
