Shivaya Painting

Shiva is the oldest of the Hindu deities, arising from older Vedic traditions. He is seen as both god of fertility and destruction, and represents the primal self of the universe. I developed this painting and others from a large body of drawings made whilst stuck in Istanbul this year. The drawings were an expression of my frustrations at the chaotic environment I found myself in - a microcosm of the wider tumult going on worldwide. Whilst there the south of the country was literally burning. These works use a white out technique on top of a more carefully constructed under painting. I see this divide as an expression of a masculine / feminine energy balance which exists in my creativity. Too much care - it can look stuffy. Too much energy - it lacks substance. Finding this balance is key to me expressing my ideas effectively. (Signed and dated on reverse)
