Spirit Element: Earth
£ 95.00 – £ 990.00 BUYEarth belongs to a series of 5 paintings in art-ma’s collection, each relating to one of the classical elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Space. This collection created by Ovidiu Kloska, is a compilation of abstract paintings, featuring heavy textures in rich colours, resulting in contemporary artwork that is both fascinating and dramatic.
The Earth element resembles practical and physically active energy, and is the most stable and persistent of all five elements. It represents groundedness, stability, potential and stillness. It reminds us to let the strength of the Earth ground us in our practice and as we move through life. Although the elements are significant across many cultures, in the Upanishad, an ancient scripture from Hinduism, it refers to the elements being used for spiritual growth.
“The Earth lives within us, not outside of us. The trees are our lungs, the rivers our bloodstream. We are all interconnected, and what you do to the Earth, ultimately you are doing to yourself.”
In this painting the big brush strokes of Acrylic in shades of brown, green and orange earthy tones sweep across the canvas, creating a beautiful piece of artwork in Kloska’s series of the five elements.
Artist: Ovidiu Kloska, Original Media: Acrylic on Canvas

Shiva Nataraja – The Cosmic Dancer
£ 105.00 – £ 800.00 BUYThe statue of Lord Shiva performing the cosmic dance, is one of the most iconic and enigmatic symbols of Hinduism. The ‘Nataraja’ represents enlightened people that have mastered their emotions, nurtured a balanced personality and understand their True Self.
Artist Parama Libralesso recreates this divine pose in his psychedelic artwork. Here Shiva, in his Nataraja avatar, is in the midst of his doomsday dance – signalling the dissolution of the universe with the closing of an eon. He is surrounded by a circle of fire, which represents the universe that is up in flames, while he remains calm. In His upper right hand, Shiva is holding the damru (an hour-glass shaped drum), whose vibrations create the universe. In the upper right hand, He holds Agni, or the fire that signifies regeneration or transformation – implying constant change.
The second left hand points towards the raised foot which signifies upliftment and salvation. It also follows the form of an elephant trunk, alluding to wisdom. Shiva’s right foot is trampling a dwarf-like figure called Apasmara, a demon who represents the negative aspects of ignorance and ego. Shiva is signalling the destruction of these negative traits in order for us to attain self-actualisation. The snake that coils around Shiva’s neck signifies this His mastery over being calm even in life’s most fearful moments.
The entire image of the Nataraja is an assurance to us that creation is not a chaotic and accidental phenomena but a guided and rhythmic movement under the mastery and control of the eternal self and that we too can become masters of our own movements and action by liberating ourselves from the limitations of our ego and delusion.

Holi
£ 95.00 – £ 425.00 BUYHoli is also a great equaliser, as it unites people from all walks of life, across generations, to celebrate the good that resides in all of humanity.
Italian artist Patrizio Landolfi’s artwork ‘The Colours of Holi’ celebrates this aspect of the festival. There is a whirlwind of different colours—red, yellow, green, blue, and orange—that converge into this white cloud at the centre of the artwork. The white represents peace and harmony, which are felt so intensely during Holi celebrations. The colours merge into each other seamlessly, they do not clash. And they eventually become one.
This artwork signifies how important the message behind Holi is to maintain balance in the world. Like the different colours, humanity is also filled with people from different backgrounds. But instead of competing and clashing with each other, which has become frequent nowadays across the world, Holi teaches us to embrace each other’s differences more. Only when this happens will the world find peace.
This vibrant Holi artwork will brighten up your home or work space instantly. And what’s more, the piece promotes positivity, which will radiate all around the space it occupies. So look no further, this is the artwork that will bring those good vibrations back into your life.
