Trinity

Trinity, Original Art
Trinity
I am inspired by patterns and motifs from diverse cultural styles. The painting Trinity represents a fusion of motifs from three cultural styles - Savage Tribe, Indian, and Egyptian.
The representation of Savage Tribe & Egyptian motifs are based on my interpretation from the book 'The Grammar of Ornament' by Owen Jones - first published in England in 1856. The image of the Egyptian priestess, the papyrus reed & the lotus flower are taken from the book 'Civilizations of the World - Exploring the Life, Myth, and Art of Ancient Egypt' by Joann Fletcher. The Indian style is a representation of batik art.
Medium: Acrylic on covered craft paper on hardboard panel

Bio
<p>Through layers of mark-making, colors, and textures, Vidya Shyamsundar paints mandalas inspired by the centuries-old South Indian meditative art called K?lam with distinct intricacy, precision, and symmetry. Painting a mandala gives her a feeling of belonging and identity, a practice that helps her to slow down and find her momentary peace. Through her narratives and intuitive brushstrokes, Vidya lets her creativity unfold by opening and emptying the mind, helping her feel centered and grounded.</p>
