All cultures create and tell stories. Myths, stories, legends, folklore, offer valuable understanding into how people perceive and think about their world. Even when a culture no longer believes that its myths are true explanations, these stories can be seen as receptacles of important cultural values. 
 

The Water’s Myth series re-imagines and re-tells stories from Hindu Mythology, where often Nature and Divine are interwoven. Water being the basis of our existence on the planet can also be seen as a prominent medium of thought in Indian mythology. The Water’s Myth Series draws upon philosophy, spirituality, history, folklore, linguistics, and literature to visually recreate the ancient Hindu worldview. The series is my attempt to tap into an ancient mythic consciousness, to rekindle the dynamics that could render meaning and intelligibility to ideas of the past, through these artworks.

​

My process in these artworks is to illustrate all elements by hand and then visually compose and complete them using digital art and painting tools. While the myths are chosen from scriptural texts I rewrite them in my own words, as a story accompaniment to my artistic visuals. 

​

While you are looking at the artworks here I am currently in the process of compiling these artworks and stories into a Coffee Table book called "Water's Myth".  Looking forward to sharing the book with you in the coming few months.
