Little Miss Anahata (or Embracing Love)
(SOLD)
30 x 30 cm
Acrylic and paper (Buddhist prayer papers and prints with ancient kimono motifs) on canvas.
The work is part of my "Chakra Series".
Chakra is a term from Sankskrit and means wheel/circle of light. According to this Indian teaching, every human being has seven central energy centres/chakras that influence our well-being and inner harmony. Each of these chakras also symbolises a life theme such as love, truth and self-confidence.
The idea of this series was to create seven
small energy sources that radiate the positive power and energy of the individual chakras with their colours and message.
The Anahata Chakra is the heart chakra.

- Whether dreamy, blurred landscapes or simplified forms with a lot of symbolism and strong colour accents, they all show an expressive power that is Asian-influenced and yet anchored in our own cultural circle
