I first discovered Vijayalaxmi and her work

on Instagram. The focus on value on every

single one of her portraits is breathtaking.

Her use of shadow makes her figures and

faces come alive in all her canvases.

Vijayalaxmi is influenced by her faith and

divine femininity is a recurring theme in

her works. The Hindu faith offers truly

radical feminist take on feminine divinity,

something Western audiences are just take

beginning to explore. Vijayalaxmi's

paintings are a modern day conversation

between Shakti and Shiva.
