Healing Garden
from Sadhana
by Gloria Keh
Acrylic on canvas • 90 cm x 90 cm • 2022
What the artist hopes to attain in her sadhana is not enlightenment. Thats still very very far away. But she hopes that her sadhana will bring harmony of mind and restore balance. Inner Balance is paramount for good mental health and well being. As we think so shall we become.

Balance
Being a woman, the artist often ponders over womanhood, wondering why her soul took on a female embodiment. This work honors Eve, believed in the Christian tradition to be the first created woman. What it must have been like to be the only woman in the garden of Eden. Imagine a world with only one woman?
The moon holds great fascination for the artist, as it does for countless poets, writers, music composers, artists. Since time immemorial. The moon controls the tides of the earth and we humans are made up mainly of water. The artist believes that the moon influences the moods and inner tides of man. The work offers salutations to Mother Moon in soft healing shades of blue.
This was a very challening piece. Work began in 2018 but was only completed two years later. It is an abstraction pondering the transcendence of the intellect. Taking things from form to the formless.
