Tara's Wings Painting

Tara's Wings is part of the collection entitled "The Greatness of Yantras" which includes ten Goddesses and one God. The idea of ​​this series of paintings started from the practice of yoga, meditation, using the yantra as a support. As an artist I wanted to bring yoga symbols closer to western culture and tried to associate them with universal symbols. Tara is the second Great Cosmic Power and she is also the most important and most worshiped deity in the Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. She is the One who gives life, the one that is full of wisdom, the Great Cosmic Power of compassion, and light of heaven. Tara is the power to transcend all things. She not only lifts us beyond dangers but allows us to rise beyond our achievements and accomplishments to higher levels of realization. As the ultimate obstacle we have to cross over is our own mind, Tara provides the power to take us beyond the turbulent waves of our thought currents, which are nothing but a fragmentation of the sound current or Divine Word. She is the Divine Word in both Hindu and Buddhist systems relates to the mantra Om. Om is the power of sound, called pranavar the original vibration.
