Saraswati Ma! by Donna L. Faber

Saraswati Ma! by

Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, and the arts. Every word we utter, every poem we write, every single one of our creations is a gift from Her. I did this original piece of multi-media art on April 6, 2003 on Bristol Strathmore paper with pen & ink and colored pencil. Highlights were done in metallic pen. Then, the image was cut out and mounted on colored paper. This is a personal and special piece done for the modern day Hindu saint and my spiritual mother, Sri Karunamayi Ma, known as Amma to her children. Jai Ma!

    Very beautiful, and I adore how you made her look a little like Amma!!!

  • While Amma inspired it, the look is somewhat coincidental … that is, if anything is a coincidence, right … ?

    Very nice work. You should do all the gods and make a collection.

  • I’m thinking on it … if I did, the next one would definitely be Kali Ma!!

    Nice to see a reference to Amma on rb. They have the most amazing music when you go to a meeting, nice artwork and nice to be reminded, thanks.

  • Hi … I just saw her here in the Bay Area. You can read about my experience on my blog at http://sapphokinesis.blogspot.com/2009/04/amma-.... I hope you visit me there.
