She stands with her arms open — not in surrender, but in recognition. The figure at the centre of this painting is small against what faces her, but she is not afraid. She has come here deliberately.
Towards the Divine is a painting of an encounter. Lord Krishna, rendered in blue and gold and yellow flame, faces the immense dark form of Lord Shiva rising from the storm behind him. The background churns in grey and white — smoke and cloud and sacred chaos — with a crescent moon at the very top. Shiva’s presence is enormous, atmospheric. Less a figure than a force. And yet the one who approaches does so with arms outstretched, completely open.
The peacock feather crown catches your eye — a small, vivid detail at the centre of something vast. A reminder of who this is and why they are here.
The painting holds both the smallness of the seeker and the immensity of what is sought, and finds something quietly powerful in the space between them. This is devotion not as submission, but as courage.
