About the Item
“Ode to the Beloved. Divine Apsara”
100 × 80 cm, acrylic on canvas
This work is inspired by the plasticity of the temple sculptures of Khajuraho — a sacred complex dating back to the 10th–12th centuries, where the female figures of apsaras, nayikas, and temple dancers embody not sensuality for the sake of seduction, but sensuality as a path to the divine.
The apsara on this canvas is the embodiment of sacred feminine presence. Her gaze, the curve of her body, the rhythm of her ornaments — all of extraordinary beauty — speak the silent language of devotional love. She does not utter words — her posture and every contour speak the language of bhakti — subtle service to God through love expressed in form, movement, and touch.
She dedicates herself to the Divine — not in opposition to the body, but through it. Such images are not merely about eroticism, but about a sacred union:
• between body and spirit,
• between the earthly and the heavenly,
• between the feminine and the masculine,
• between the human and the Divine.
This is an ode to love that purifies.
An ode to presence that unites.
An ode to the Beloved — to the One who is always near, who eternally receives our dance of life as a prayer.
Always is He honored in thought and heart,
Always is His service a blessing.
He is the dwelling of saints, my only refuge.
I praise Him who is dear to Parvati,
Nilakantha, the infinite God.

Ukrainian artist working under the pseudonym AreiRa. Born in 1988 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Graduated from the Kharkiv Academic Art Lyceum and studied Interior Design at the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts. Since 2023, she has been actively engaged in painting, working primarily with acrylic and watercolor. Her artistic practice combines figurative and mythological imagery, exploring themes of inner transformation, spiritual resilience, and the search for harmony. She draws inspiration from sacred symbolism, architectural heritage, and the cultural codes of ancient civilizations, creating compositions rich in subtle metaphors and emotional depth. For AreiRa, painting is a form of meditative practice, where the material and the symbolic intertwine to open new inner dimensions. Her works have been exhibited in Ukraine and abroad. The artist’s practice evolves through a dialogue with philosophy and the visual language of global cultural heritage. Her works are aesthetic and spiritual focal points that harmonize space and open an inner silence.
