The great Lord Adinath, steeped deep in contemplation. In the yogic texts, the term for this state of the mind is samadhi. The Lord’s eyes are shut. Like a rosebud, His mouth is soft. An aquiline nose that barely inhales and exhales. The divine features of the Lord have been captured to perfection by the painter in mixed-media idiom.
To the shades and tints of grey that makes up the countenance of Shiva, the small vermillion tilaka introduces a pop of colour. Surrounded by a riot of colour and line and texture, contained within no fixed shape. Indicative of maya or the illusion that is life without the divine.
Splotches of ochre and deep, dark crimson. Bold, black lines. Cerulean and white and charcoal, dabbed all along the edges. Hints of the holy Devanagari script, and a silhouette of the hand that writes it.
