Kamakhya- Original Painting

Description

"Kamakhya"
An original painting by Emily Balivet. Acrylic paint and acrylic sculpting paste on 8"x10" canvas panel, 2008.

A vision of the divine, Tantric mother goddess. Her name means "She who is the form of desire". The Kamakhya temple in India has a spring inside which flows red for three days in June. Immediately after this period, there is a festival celebrated for four days. Throughout the night, the temple dancers move in frenzied trance. Starting slowly to the beat of drums, the dance reaches a crescendo when the dancer is said to be ultimately possessed by the Mother Goddess herself.

The psychedelic art nouveau backdrop is loaded with texture by use of acrylic sculpting paste.
The unframed canvas panel has been coated with varnish for protection.
