Artist Statement
premanjana-churita-bhakti-vilocanena santah sadaiva hridayeshu vilokayanti [Brahma-samhita 5.38]
"The devotees whose eyes are anointed with the love-of-God ointment see God, Krishna, within their hearts twenty-four hours a day.”
In the path of Bhakti yoga it is explained that only when we are purified by the practice of devotional service can we see with perfect eyes the Absolute Truth revealed in the Vedic scriptures. In her current practice, Selina has been exploring methods of depicting her inner vision as a response to studying sastra (Vedic scriptures) and developing a serviceattitude in her spiritual practice. There are personalities and pastimes that are presented in the literatures and Selina’s current paintings show the beginning stages of a palpable vision in the artist’s mind formed in response to becoming acquainted with them through the processes of reading and hearing.
