About this artwork
Ardhanarishvara - The union of Shakti & Shiva
This work of art is a Yajna - an offering to the essence of Shiva & Shakti depicted on canvas in the form of Ardhanarishvara. The Sanskrit word Yajna has a subtle thought attached to it.
Matter and energy are believed to be made of 5 subtle essences. In Yoga - anything matter or energy is known as “Shiva”.
This piece of art is to convey a message that when we merge with universal consciousness — sentiments… of “Aatmavat sarva bhootayshoo” (all beings are manifestations from one source) and “Vasudhaiva kutumbakam” (the entire world is thus one family ) become fully understood — that is what the concept of Ardhanarishvara represents
Om Namah Shivaya!

« Inception can neither be mechanised nor automated, nor can it be tamed — untapped potential knows no bounds. »
Jay Menon is a passionate Indian painter who has exhibited his work in South Africa, India and Mauritius. His body of work contains a mix of abstract expressions and figurative depictions of mythological motifs, goddesses and legends. He creates subverted representations of familiar figures, intended to shock and amuse the viewer, and attempts more broadly to communicate the illusion of reality.
