Shiva (Celestial Dance) Mixed Media Religious Painting

This composition stages a quiet ascension: curved, calligraphic crescents drift upward through a milky atmosphere, their cool blues pulsing with a granular texture that feels both aqueous and cosmic. A pale, almost ghosted vertical trace reads like a spine or current, guiding the eye from the dense, earthlike oval below toward a small white disc that hovers as a distant moon—or a point of awakening. The generous negative space is not emptiness but breath, allowing the forms to suggest movement, balance, and the fragile poise between gravity and release. In its restrained palette and buoyant rhythm, the work becomes a meditation on emergence—how identity lifts itself from shadow into clarity without ever losing the memory of depth.
