Acrylic (metallic gold) on vintage paper
47 x 34 cm
Dancing Ganesha painting on a page of an old family photo album from the 1970's. The snake shape is painted with acrylic gold, giving a metallic shine, depending on the angle the painting is viewed at. Ganesha is painted using gall wasp ink (natural black ink produced by a specific species of wasps). The snake is a symbol for Kundaini energy rising and is also commonly used in Hinduism (symbolizing rebirth)
