A divine example of self-surrender and purity of love, Uma-Parvati is the pinnacle of the divine feminine. A visual remembrance of her oneness with Shiva, “Shankari” blends the legends of Hinduism with the modern European technique of pointillism. Blue-skinned, like her beloved Shiva, Shivani (another name for Uma), is attired in saffron, the color of purity and devotion, with the crescent moon of Shiva shining on her heavenly form. Blue lilies, the symbol of purity, surround the goddess, adding to her celestial beauty.

The technique of Pointillism uses the repetition of colorful dots to create a rhythmic gradation on canvas. With an artist’s perfection, the technique perfectly narrates the heavenliness of Shankari, brimming with the splendor of her love and devotion to Shankar.
