P A G E 1 1 9S P I R T U A L I T YWhat message do you have for international audiences about your work?I am blessed to be born in a country like India which has a vast cultural history andtradition to learn from. I love to travel and explore the rich heritage places, ancientarchitecture, and sculptures which inspire me. It is miraculous how the old mastersculptors and painters worked with their limited resources. It is now difficult to getthat beauty in one’s work even with all the aids available. I'm enriched by the past evenas I explore it for the present. I am intrigued by these beauties and try to portraythrough my brush.I feel artists always depict their suppressed (I must say) feelings through various formsof art. In search of my own identity as a woman my exploration led me to my subject of"shakti" or "Devi" you might call or in other words every woman being a symbol ofbenevolence,strength, wisdom, and abundance. My quest for connecting to higher selfand discovering the real purpose of my life, awakened me to a different form ofspirituality in this creative process. I tend to communicate and meditate through myworks, even through my swirl and chaos of day to day life..Spirituality which is notbound to specific religion, helps me to transcend myself to different realms andconnect to more profound levels of consciousness and self awareness. The samespiritual connection when I depict through brush and colours, resonates with theviewer universally as well.

While it isdisheartening to see how enthusiastsmisuse it to recreate under their signature,it also gives me inner joy of how it hasmanaged to impact and connect withpeople across the globe.myself through art, and feel content topursue it as a career. Just like I followed mypassion I would highly encourage everycreative soul to follow their dreams and dowhat they love to do, no matter theconventions.No matter the struggle, I love expressingmyS h i v s h a k t iS h i v a l a n k a r
