Description
Trantic Visions – Kali“Beyond the dark dance
Create and destroy . . .
Time and being . . .
Still . . .
Be the light to a new truth
Or a poison that will condemn
A cup that will quench the heart and soul
Or an act of the ultimate sacrifice
To sire and nurture . . .
Still unfolding . . .”

Thank you very much Antara
At times, I do wonder if my depiction of deities would offend other people. However, I am also assured that I am doing it right, as it is the deities who do wish to be portrayed. In the last 5 years, life wasn't much about having a good night's sleep, as visions would come and go. And I would immediately get up from bed and try to capture what I saw. This piece is one of those visions

Sounds like you're chosen by those deities
Or at least gifted in the ability to portray them
My Kali was drawn from a vision as well, but I can't claim an iota of the success you have
My talent lies in traversing the insurmountable landscapes of the inner world of music
Thank you for sharing your creativity!

Thank you too my friend
We all seek different avenues in to which we express what we see. At some times, we do not completely capture the essence of a vision, and will be compelled to do it at some latter period in time. I say this in context to you comparison of my 'success' to your work, and I see that your youth holds much potential.
For example, my work "The Well of Souls" took me more than 20 years to realize into a final artwork. I kept on drawing the image until it took me that long to understand my vision, and that I was skilled enough to capture it. I am also in the process of re-illustrating some other older works
Time is on our side, whether at your youth or even at my older state in life
Salamat (thanks) at samuli (and until then),
Lakan

I was just driven to do this . . . and when I finished it, that was when I realized I drew Kali

yup..Goddess Kali's nature is my favorite as she is so bold with no fear..she doesn't wear clothes as representing her rebel behaviour..

To me it is no more so as rebellion, rather it is freedom

I actually use purple to substitute the use of black, and it does come out pretty nicely
