This exhibition brings together fifteen works that reflect a personal and philosophical journey through sacred imagery, symbolic language, and the dualities we live with, light and dark, form and formlessness, self and something greater.
Drawing inspiration from Newar culture and broader Hindu and Buddhist thought, the artist weaves together myth, devotion, and metaphysics. The hyper realistic graphite and charcoal drawings of Himalayan deities aren’t meant as portraits, but as quiet reflections, each one a meditation on divine presence and inner stillness. Many depict divine unions, exploring the idea of balance through the merging of feminine and masculine energies.
Alongside these drawings are large conceptual paintings that imagine the cosmos as both sacred and scientific. One contemplates the origin of life through the symbol of Shakti, where the divine feminine becomes a cosmic explosion of creation. Another features the Jyotirlinga, an infinite pillar of light that speaks to Shiva’s formless essence, surrounded by mythical creatures who mirror our own striving and illusion of control.
Together, these fifteen works don’t aim to explain, but to invite. They create a space to pause, reflect, and feel, where opposites can sit quietly together, and where mythology and matter can speak the same language. This exhibition is an offering, a way to ask deeper questions about where we come from, what we worship, and how we find meaning in the unknown.
