KALIKA
A portraiture of Hindu goddess of death, time, and doomsday "KALI"
Oil on canvas - 5.5"X5.5"
Kali is the quintessential embodiment of shakti, female power. She emerges as an independent goddess and evolves as a controversial character: she is a scary, bloodthirsty embodiment of destruction, and the ultimate protector against evil.
Kali embodies the boundless and existential freedom to be—without seeking permission.
She is a true monster, in that she is both frightening and awe-inspiring, beautiful in a way that isn’t in any way pretty—not shallow, not manageable, not comfortable. Kali, look at her, couldn’t care less if she is likable or not. She isn’t afraid of her force, and if you are, that’s on you.
