Shadripu
24 x 24 in (h x w)
Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas, canson paper, water colours, mdf board.
Arishadvargas – (Ari-Shad-Vargas) means Detrimental-six-qualities of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada, and Maatsarya, which a person must overcome to gain divine consciousness. The Arishadvargas are those that evoke Emotions in the human. The emotions of anger, fear disgust, happiness, sadness, surprise. We have tried to use our respective mediums of expression and collaborate to bring forth this using symbolism relevant to this context.
We have been trying to collaborate for a while, hence this project gave us an opportunity to collaborate seamlessly and this in itself is such a gratitudinal moment for both of us. Making time for this, patiently waiting for the challenges the weather brought with it and finally working out practical methods to collaborate remotely was an enriching and amazing experience. Since this has given us a kickstart, I am sure we will now collaborate on a series of projects together 🙂
I feel that the constarsting colors stand out as much as each of these emotions stand out in our natural existence. The deep cosmic blue provides a mesmerizing canvas and depth. Great work.
Beautiful and vibrant! 😀♥️
This visually striking representation of the complexities of human nature is so delightful. The colors are so appealing to the eye.
The background color and patterns show so much chaos while depicting the shad vargas…beautiful
What a stunning palette of colours! From the background blue to the ochre, and the green. Real joy to watch. Looking forward to more of your work. Good Luck!
Through intricate craftsmanship, this Shadripu artwork vividly symbolizes the six inner vices, serving as a powerful reminder of the journey toward self-mastery and spiritual awakening.
Chaos to calmness
What a surreal and visceral piece of art. The blue just pierces straight through to the heart! And the contrasts are just so evocative
Never seen such a depiction of detrimental qualities in an art work. Colors bring it to life.
Soothing to the eyes and mind.. the color combinations are amazing
Inspired design!
Each planet to be visited, scaled, and conquered.
Love the colours and composition!!
Amazing in its simplicity and impact
Depicted so artiscally!!
Great depiction 👍
Great depiction of what we need to overcome
Beautiful representation of what has to be overcome
Excellent…!!!
Love the concept of Shadripu and it’s execution. While one used clay, suggestive of the primordial existence of the six regressional qualities of the human mind, the other used acrylic, a modern material suggestive of the continued existence of these qualities that need to be overcome.
Awesome !
The contrast between the background and the foreground is illusionary. Good effort.
It’s a beautiful reflection of creativity and talent!
Beautiful! Love the colors and composition!
Nice
