Mahādeva Shiva

||​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ God of destruction, Destroyer of evil. The chief of Rudras. God of the manas and the lord of Yoga ||

It doesn’t look like any traditional style of Indian fine arts. This work is my experiment. It has its roots in deep love to engravings and understanding the value of Sanātana Dharma heritage. As for me, engravings are the highest expression of graphics; Sanātana Dharma is the deepest philosophy.

During the working process I had to step away from some dogmas of Indian iconography. In some degree it triggers the dissonance between the style and the theme of the work. However, this combination attempts to unite what is the best from my point of view.
