this piece features vibrant rainbow lorikeets, radiant with emerald and crimson hues, serving as ethereal guardians at the gateway of possibility. Their resplendent plumage reverberates through the painting’s kaleidoscope of colors, inviting viewers into a realm where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur.

The painting beckons viewers to contemplate the mysteries of life, the echoes of distant worlds, and the unfolding secrets of the cosmos.
"The Great Mother - Sihaya" is an invitation to delve into the sublime, to ponder the intricate tapestry of existence, and to experience a moment where the mysteries of the universe reveal themselves.
