WELCOME TO DEVĪ UPĀSANĀ
A Portal for the Visual Alchemy of the Goddess
yā devī sarvabhūteṣu chetanetyabhidhīyate;
namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ - Devi Suktam
Salutations again and again to the Goddess who abides in all beings as the Infinite Consciousness!
Through the Grace of the Goddess, my artistic path has become a sacred offering, a portal birthed from devotion. Her Ecstatic Presence has been the transformative force, a constant wellspring of healing that has irrevocably reshaped my consciousness and life's trajectory. This Sacred Art Portal is a heartfelt expression honoring Her radiant presence, both within my soul and illuminating the world around me.
In deep contemplation and meditation on Devī, the source of wisdom, emerges a visual language, a revelation born from the heart of existence itself. She, the foundational hologram, pulsates as the ever-present, living consciousness within the tapestry of form and formlessness. This language of imagery arises when my awareness flows in resonance with Her energetic essence, a place where art, reality, mythology, and imagination become one.
Each painting becomes a visual dialogue, a tapestry woven with the Goddess's countless forms. It simultaneously explores the intimate world within (microcosm) and the vast universe beyond (macrocosm). Through the dance of colors and the symphony of brushstrokes, these works create pathways of healing and transformation, like an alchemical process on the canvas. It's as if the artwork itself transcends the physical realm, becoming a thread woven into the very fabric of the cosmos, a bridge between the seen and unseen, existing eternally in the flow of time and space.

Marked by a series of profound traumas and health struggles from a young age, I found solace in the language of colors and visual expression. This became the cornerstone of a deep spiritual quest, a path that opened up innumerable pathways of healing. After a 25-year hiatus, I felt an undeniable pull to reconnect with this creative wellspring. Returning to the embrace of the paintbrush, I was graced with visions and transmissions of Devī. Each blank canvas became a portal, already imbued with the multitude of Her forms. With every stroke, I felt myself merely as a conduit, revealing stories nestled within the brushstrokes and symbols. The paintings, in essence, painted themselves through me, each one a mesmerizing tapestry of unknown narratives yearning to be unveiled.
As I surrendered to the flow of these unknown transmissions, brushstrokes became a bridge between the unspoken and the visual. Each Art Portal birthed through this process pulsed with a Sacred Presence. Encoded with potent symbols and signatures, they held the power to unveil profound truths.These Portals became invitations to contemplate the profound wisdom woven into Devī's creation. They unveiled secrets of existence, pulsing with Her compassionate energy and a boldness that captivated the eye.
With each creation, it felt as if a tangled knot within unraveled, transformed into pathways of healing alchemy - a transformation that resonated both within my own being and for those who encountered the art.
A PEEK INTO MY CREATIVE JOURNEY...
