Original mixed media painting on canvas
Om Sarvesham Swastir Bhavatu is the largest canvas I have painted in a number of years. I had fallen in love with this mantra after seeing a YouTube video of Tina Turner performing this chant. It is referred to as the Peace Mantra.
The two large panels of canvas cloth were painted and attached to the textured and painted stretched canvas. Then the book was sewn in place. The mantra appears across the back canvas in Sanskrit and the English translation is hand written across the painted cloth panels as follows:
"May there be happiness in all
May there be peace in all
May there be completeness in all
May there be success in all"
The sides are painted to match the rest of the canvas and the signature and date can be found on the side.
