Durga-kali - She Who Holds the Moon and Fire

Shipra Anand

Durga-kali -She Who Holds the Moon and Fire

Acrylic on canvas
90 × 90cm

This painting explores the deep emotional strength within every woman, inspired by the powerful goddesses Durga and Kali. It portrays two sides of the same figure: one calm and luminous, with steady eyes and a peaceful, moonlike presence symbolising patience, wisdom, and quiet courage; the other fierce and energetic, with fire in her gaze and a bold, protective stance. Though contrasting, both faces rise from the same inner force of resilience and transformation. Rich colours and textured brushstrokes bring this duality to life, blending mythology with personal truth and celebrating femininity as layered, complex, and beautifully powerful.

IMAGE DESCRIPTION
