Durga: an oil painting on canvas

in #mspsteem7 years ago

Also known as Shakti or Devi, Durga is the guardian mother of the universe. Befitting her role as mother protector, Durga is multi-limbed so that she may always be ready to battle evil from any direction. In most depictions, she has between eight and 18 arms and holds a symbolic object in each hand. Although she may be quite fierce in some of her forms, here I have depicted her at her most benign; a protector of all that is good and harmonious in the world.

The little girl in my painting reposes faithfully in the arms of the loving and nurturing goddess.

In Hindu art there are many marvelous sculptures of Durga; the one that is the source of the inspiration of this painting is currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
