Soaring Spirit
The bird of creation
On the verge of flight
About to soar
On the wings of light.
The second in a “The Reflections” collection of three artworks by Ashima Kumar to be released is Soaring Spirit. These paintings represent three attributes of the human mind, the bird representing creation and soaring into the light. Collectively they symbolise man’s desire to reach his/her eternal goal – the merger with the Supreme Being.

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.

Rod of Asclepius
£ 90.00 – £ 400.00 BUYThe Rod of Asclepius is the most prominent symbol of healthcare, healing and medicine in the modern world. Its origins, however, can be traced back to Greek mythology and represents the medical prowess of the demi-God Asclepius, who was known for his healing powers.
The Rod of Asclepius includes two elements. The staff, which is a symbol of authority and a serpent coiled around it. According to Greek mythology, Asclepius got his medical knowledge through whispering snakes, who have the ability to shed their skin and emerge healthier than before. They, therefore, represent rebirth and rejuvenation.
Artist Ovidiu Kloska marries these two worlds to create his visually stunning interpretation of this symbol that was commissioned by Art-ma.
