Gyaana | Textured Portrait Painting

Gyaana, 2024. 24” x 24”  Textured acrylics, costume jewelry, cotton fabric. Gyaana, shows the back of a woman, her hair elegantly styled in a bun adorned with jasmine flowers. She stands quietly, gazing out over a field of sunflowers, their bright faces turned toward the sun. Named for one of the forms of goddess Durga, Gyaana embodies strength and wisdom. I have attempted to evoke a sense of quiet reflection and inner peace, much like the teachings of a revered mentor with a similar name from my high school days.
