Mahabharata – The Rush of the Hero
Bhismadeva, also called Pitamaha – the patriarch, is an oxymoron between old age and his surprising agility and superhuman strength. Fate and code of honour had decided that he was to stand against the Pandavas. Even as he was fighting them in his heart he was on their side.

Spirit Element: Earth
£ 95.00 – £ 990.00 BUYEarth belongs to a series of 5 paintings in art-ma’s collection, each relating to one of the classical elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Space. This collection created by Ovidiu Kloska, is a compilation of abstract paintings, featuring heavy textures in rich colours, resulting in contemporary artwork that is both fascinating and dramatic.
The Earth element resembles practical and physically active energy, and is the most stable and persistent of all five elements. It represents groundedness, stability, potential and stillness. It reminds us to let the strength of the Earth ground us in our practice and as we move through life. Although the elements are significant across many cultures, in the Upanishad, an ancient scripture from Hinduism, it refers to the elements being used for spiritual growth.
“The Earth lives within us, not outside of us. The trees are our lungs, the rivers our bloodstream. We are all interconnected, and what you do to the Earth, ultimately you are doing to yourself.”
In this painting the big brush strokes of Acrylic in shades of brown, green and orange earthy tones sweep across the canvas, creating a beautiful piece of artwork in Kloska’s series of the five elements.

Mahabharata – The Demoness Hidimbi
£ 155.00 – £ 770.00 BUYThis artwork depicts Bhima and Hidimbi’s first meeting. A gorgeous forest becomes the right place for a romantic wild meeting of love, a bucolic scene of seduction with a hint of discreet sensuality.
Hidimbi belonged to the Rakshasa race, giant cannibals with supernatural powers who lived deep in the forests. Despite the major differences between them, their marriage is a short but happy one. Their union generated a much loved son, Ghatotkacha, who was very powerful, humble and loyal.
In the midst of such a dramatic epic, these few tender moments make for a welcome distraction from the pain of troublesome events.
