Summary
Details

Visions of the Divine is a visually stunning and deeply personal art book featuring a curated collection of artworks inspired by Hindu mythology, spanning over 40 years. Artistically rich and intellectually grounded, this body of work reflects a lifetime of exploration through myth, science, and self-discovery. Developed through extensive research in Hindu iconography, oral traditions, and sacred texts, these paintings bring to life the primary feminine and masculine deities of the Hindu pantheon.

Far from a religious text, this art book offers a secular and interpretive perspective, blending storytelling with symbolism to visualize universal themes like creation, consciousness, energy, and the soul. The artist weaves together mythological narratives with philosophical and scientific reflections, influenced by a lifelong fascination with physics, astronomy, and metaphysics.

With a focused five-year effort from 2020 to 2025, this project unifies decades of artwork into a cohesive visual narrative. Drawing parallels between Hindu cosmology and scientific theories-such as karma, reincarnation, and the cyclical creation and destruction of the universe-the artist explores Hinduism as both a spiritual philosophy and a cultural lens that aligns with modern scientific inquiry.

Visions of the Divine aims to inspire curiosity and invite readers into a contemplative space where art becomes a portal to understanding deeper existential questions. It is an artistic journey-both reverent and inquisitive-that seeks to elevate Hindu mythology beyond tradition and into the universal.
