About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Rachel Srinivasan's surrealistic piece combines the traditional symbolism of the tarot card with the image of a white bison and eight crossed swords. The creature, alone against a green expanse, represents the individual depicted in the card - bound by their limitations and feeling trapped. "It is also a powerful symbol of strength and resilience, suggesting that even though the individual feels restricted, they possess the inner resources to overcome," shares Rachel. The entire work embodies purity and a higher spiritual understanding.
About the Artist
For Rachel Srinivasan, an idea is worth putting on a canvas only if it still feels exciting after a few days. Rachel enjoys mulling the idea over in her mind for some time before creating an artwork. She hopes viewers will engage with her work and wonder about the subject matter, shapes and colors. "My current work is all about creating a connection between the person on the canvas with the viewer," she explains. She prefers large paintings and sometimes even makes her own canvases. She currently lives in Arizona and enjoys baking rhubarb pies, reading, running and going to art museums.
