Divine Epiphany
Charcoal & acrylic on canvas, 60cm x 81cm, 2025
 
Divine Epiphany (poem)
A moment of awakening rooted in earth,
crown in leaves and carried by a strength of arms.
She is a woman, tree, and a goddess, intertwined.
A divine enchantress rising from soil and spirit.
Her presence is a reminder 
that power can be soft,
and the softness can be unshakably strong.
This is a tribute to the multitasking, ever-evolving force of the feminine.
This is her epiphany and perhaps, yours too.
 
Artwork Statement
Divine Epiphany is a captivating example of magical realism, a genre that blends everyday life with subtle, fantastical elements, creating a seamless balance between imagination and reality.
The artwork, created using charcoal pencil and acrylic with impasto technique, portrays a woman’s strength and divinity as a majestic tree with multiple arms, inspired by the Hindu goddess Durga and Greek goddess Hekate. Standing firm yet dancing gracefully as Mother Earth with the wind, she symbolizes resilience, adaptability, and the power to multitask with elegance.

As a spiritual artist, she embraces Omnism and draws inspiration from a variety of mystical and symbolic traditions, exploring ancient wisdom and spiritual themes that celebrate life, nature, and the human spirit.

This painting offers an immersive experience, inviting viewers to engage with both its visual and auditory elements. The music, created with her singing voice and AI prompts she designed herself, serves as a sonic companion to the painting, enhancing its emotional and spiritual impact. 
This painting can be displayed vertically for the main view or horizontally to reveal a fisheye perspective, providing two complementary ways to experience and engage with the artwork.
