60" x 48" Acrylic on Canvas. Durga-kali-gaia-oshun-isis Body Print inspired by the Hindu Goddess Kali, Kali is a manifestation of the Hindu Goddess Durga the goddess of material creation. Her Greek name is Gaia, her African name is Oshun and her Egyptian name is Isis. Before completing this painting I took a Belly Bollywood dance workshop with Queen Harish from Jaisalmer Rajasthan, India. He is a dancing whirling desert drag queen. The workshop was fantastic we all felt as though we were in a bollywood movie.

Hi. I'm very interested in the link your making between Isis and Oshun. How do you know it is the same deity? If you could help me clarify that... Thanks.
ReplyDeleteArchetype (in Jungian psychology) is defined as a collectively inherited unconscious idea, pattern of thought, image, etc universally present in individual psyches. Isis, Oshun, Gaia, Kali, are archetypes of mother goddesses that have appeared in different countries and cultures.
ReplyDeleteDionysus and Shiva are the same... So are Oshun and Durga -- and both are the ass-kicking, demon-slaying goddesses to whom the other deities turned when dark entities were ravaging the earthly realm... Both answered fear with laughter. Fear is the lock and laughter the key to the heart... & love is always stronger than death.
