अहं ब्रह्मास्मि (aham brahmāsmi) — I’m All and all is me

 aham brahmāsmi (अहं ब्रह्मास्मि / অহং ব্রহ্মাস্মি) is a Mahāvakya (one of the summaries) of the Upanishads from the Yajur Veda. It means, “I am Brahman” or ‘I’m the Divine’. The philosophy of Advaita Vedanta implies the oneness of the individual self (Atman) with the universal reality (Brahman).

This mix media painting 8.44” x 6” is my humble articulation and visualization of the Mahāvakya. I look forward to your interpretation of this canvas, as comments.

লাল নৌকো (Lal Nouko): The Red Boat

This 18”x24” mixed media painting is a fusion of impressionist and pointillism to a degree. Though the boat isn't painted red, it draws the 'Sindoor' red from the sky on its dark wood tint. Saw an amazing sunset in rural Bengal, which inspired this.

বেগুনী অম্বর (Beguni Ombor): Purple Sky

বেগুনী means purple and অম্বর translates to sky. However, for me, this is the anticipation of the sailor on the dingi boat... what does it say to you? The original paining was in acrylic but lost in storage fire in Bronx, New York. This replacement is a 8” x 10” mixed medium treatment that reflects my current style.

Also, this is inspired by Indian Holi celebration, a festival of colors!
