The serenity of the goddess Tara

"Still"

2014 Oil on canvas 160 x 150 cm

The sitting character is Mongolian Green Goddess "Tara". There is great peacefulness and serenity in this woman bearing her child and listening to the sounds of her child in stillness. As an idea of eternity Mother Nature is actually represented in this woman. Behind her, an aureole of intelligence, like a sun; the sun always gives its warmth to others, it gives its warmth to sustain life. The brown shape at the bottom represents an extinct planet. If man cuts off his main essence from its root, he will in due time die out. Same as this, if we won’t love our natural environment as a mother loves her child, our Earth will eventually become an extinct planet.

“Light”

2015 Oil on canvas 120 x 160 cm

This is the portrait of a woman who has got cancer. There is a light in a shaded place and there is a shadow in a place full of light, as any person’s life is governed by the law of opposites and of happiness and sorrow cycles. Modern fine arts mingle with Mongolian painting style: The shadowed part is the fine art part and it shows that person’s real life whereas the light part is made in the Mongolian painting style that makes images of gods. When searching for goodness, one can find out one’s own true nature, one can see the value of one’s own life. Maybe through that search, one can overcome one’s illness.
