In this mesmerizing piece, ANAND MANCHIRAJU captures the essence of Ariel, the Guardian of the universe. Influenced by powerful feminine deities like Shakti and Gaea, the artwork embodies the delicate balance between peace and chaos. Ariel is depicted in vibrant, expressive colors, symbolizing strength and renewal, as she sits by the Moon to rejuvenate. This painting isn't just a mythological depiction; it's a reflection of the eternal guardianship and the cyclic nature of the universe.
