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
