作品資訊:
萬有母 |壓克力顏料、畫布|76x51 cm|2026
「萬有母」(Bhuvaneśvarī) 是印度教性力派密宗「十慧母」第四位尊神,象徵意義核心為世界統御與母性滋養。這幅畫是延續 2024 年魯賓博物館 (Rubin Museum of Art) 展覽「Reimagine: Himalayan Art now」系列的最新力作。
頭頂皎潔新月、充滿喜悅的三隻大眼,以及四臂姿態。兩隻手做出給予恩賜與消除恐懼的手勢;另外兩手持有套索與象鉤,套索象徵用愛與能量牽絆宇宙萬物,象鉤象徵引導與破除執礙。
透過深邃的星空藍描繪背景,點綴閃爍的星辰與帶有光環的行星。萬有母閃耀著溫暖金黃色澤的臉龐,在綠松石色的髮髻、明亮的粉色衣裳與下方波光粼粼的蓮花池襯托下,散發寧靜安詳的氣息。
藝術家褪去了傳統宗教圖像的距離感,賦予女神圓潤靈動的雙眸與溫柔嘴角,宛如守護星際的精靈,傳遞著包容一切的強大母性力量,帶來安定內心的平靜、豐盛富足,以及讓生命如蓮花般自在綻放的溫暖庇佑。

Artwork :
Bhuvaneshwori|Acrylic on canvas|76x51 cm|2026
Bhuvaneshwori is the fourth deity of the Dasha Mahavidyas in Hindu Shaktism, whose core symbolic significance lies in cosmic sovereignty and maternal nourishment. This painting is the latest masterpiece continuing the "Reimagine: Himalayan Art now" exhibition series from the Rubin Museum of Art in 2024.
In the artwork, her sacred attributes are meticulously preserved: a pristine crescent moon upon her head, three eyes filled with joy, and a graceful four-armed posture. Two hands form the gestures of bestowing boons and dispelling fear, while the other two hold a noose and an elephant goad. The noose symbolizes binding the universe with love and energy, and the goad represents guidance and the shattering of attachments.
The background is rendered in a profound starry blue, dotted with twinkling stars and haloed planets. Bhuvaneśvarī’s face shines with a warm golden hue; set against her turquoise topknot, bright pink garments, and the sparkling lotus pond below, she exudes an exceptionally serene and tranquil aura.
Ultimately, the artist strips away the aloofness of traditional religious iconography, endowing the goddess with round, expressive eyes and a gentle smile, imbued with a touch of playful accessibility. Like an ethereal sprite guarding the cosmos, she conveys a powerful, all-embracing maternal energy, bestowing upon the viewer a stabilizing inner peace, abundant prosperity, and the comforting blessing for life to bloom freely like a graceful lotus.
