A leaping fish
And a placid sea
Symbolised creation
And Eternity.

Yoga System
£ 90.00 – £ 990.00 BUYYoga is a practice of physical, mental and spiritual discipline, which represents the mind, body and soul. This unique artwork is called the Yoga System, it’s composition symbolises peace. In the centre of the artwork there is a silhouette of a person in “asana” – the Sanksrit word for yogic posture or movement.
Above, there is the Maha mantra in Sanksrit :
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare,
Hare Ram, Hare Ram, Ram Ram, Hare Hare.The Maha mantra is chanted for benefits of the energies that come from the three Hindu deities that make up the mantra. The name Maha, means great; mantra is a composition of two Sanksrit words meaning mind and instrument. Thus in yoga, chanting a mantra, stills the mind in meditation and allows it to focus concentration on a single thought, resulting in spiritual awakening and a higher level of consciousness.
On the sides of the artwork, there are beautiful symbols which have been taken from various Indian dialects depicting AUM – the universal sound. Aum is one of the most recognized symbols in the world and is used regularly during the practice of Yoga.
The use of the colour in this artwork is uplifting, it reminds you of the eternal sky and, in turn reminds you of contemplation in the meditative state. In this painting of the Yoga System, the artist has adopted a contemporary style, to portray Inner Peace.

Summer Buddha – At Peace
£ 125.00 – £ 600.00 BUYInspired by the story of Buddha finding enlightenment whilst meditating underneath a tree without moving for seven weeks. This piece, the third in a collection of 4 representing the four seasons of Buddha, pushes the boundaries of natures’ potential further, to the point at which Buddha is immersed so much in nature, both are evenly depicted in the composition. Buddha has a length of time completely alone with nature, which makes him at peace, and a part of his surroundings.
Buddha has become one with the tree and is at peace. This painting also plays on similarities between our anatomy and nature surrounding us. The Buddha sits still and peacefully just like the tree, firmly rooted on the ground.

Aum at Dawn
£ 90.00 – £ 850.00 BUYThe AUM symbol symbolises the Universe and the ultimate reality. It is the sound that reverberates in the entire cosmos and in every cell of our body. It is believed to be the sound present at the beginning of the Universe from which all creation spawned. At the dawn of creation, from emptiness first emerged a syllable consisting of three letters – A-U-M (often written as OM).
The symbol has spiritual meaning across all Indian religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism.
The three phonetic parts of AUM also represent the rule of three. The holy trinity has many faiths built around it, and similarly, Aum represents all of these trios. This powerful syllable represents all that is and this trio links to many other aspects of life. This syllable is also linked to creation (Brahma), sustaining (Vishnu) and destruction (Shiva); Consciousness, unconsciousness, and subconsciousness; Heaven, Earth and The Underworld; Start, Middle and End; Dawn, Afternoon and Dusk.
By placing this beautiful AUM artwork in your home you are reconnecting to the love, peace and divine oneness within your own heart and throughout the Universe.
Here, the AUM symbol is represented by the artist using a technique called fragmentation.
