Rachel Srinivasan
Ten of Swords, Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Rachel Srinivasan presents a surreal image of a white bison standing in the middle of 10 swords—nominative to its corresponding card from the tarot deck. The creature appears bright and powerful despite depicting the traditional symbolism of loss and hardship. Hope prevails in the form of the spirit beast surrounded by a warm geometric color field, albeit fractured. "The mental turmoil comes to an end," says Rachel. "Clarity is on the horizon."


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.
