Aum Namah Shivay
Oil and latex on Canvas (48"x80") 2011. Dallas, TX.


Meditation is the path to inner peace & happiness. Yet, as one tries to meditate, thoughts scatter in many directions as symbolized by the scattered lines used in this painting, connected yet disjointed. The chanting of AUM helps to move the scattered thoughts, uniting them around itself and helping to transcend one’s soul to a place akin to godliness.
The transformation of the auspicious symbol AUM to Lord Ganesh is Rahul’s attempt to depict this journey of the meditative mind
