Artist Statement
I am Padma Srinivasan, an artist deeply inspired by the divine feminine energy in Hinduism. My passion for art began in childhood, nurtured by my mother’s thoughtful gesture of buying me beautifully illustrated books about the great gods—especially Amar Chitra Kathas. These early encounters with spiritual artistry ignited a love for visual storytelling and a deep connection to the sacred that continues to inspire my work today.
Holding a Master’s degree in Illustration, I combine my formal training with a spiritual devotion to create art that honours and celebrates the power of Shakti, the divine feminine. My journey as an artist has also been profoundly influenced by motherhood, which has empowered my creativity and deepened my understanding of the nurturing and transformative power of feminine energy.
Watercolour is my medium of choice because its fluidity mirrors the flow of feminine energy—constantly shifting and evolving, yet always powerful and nurturing. Each piece I create is an original and unique expression, carefully crafted with reverence and intention, and rooted in the ancient wisdom of Sanatan Dharma.
Beyond creating individual artworks, I am passionate about sharing this journey with others. I conduct Awakening Shakti art workshops twice a month, offering a space for participants to connect with Shakti’s powerful energy through watercolour. In these workshops, I teach watercolour from the basics, sharing practical tips and tricks to help participants explore their creative potential. What sets these workshops apart is the deep sense of community and shared spirituality that participants experience—something rarely offered by most artists in India.
As a registered MSME enterprise, my business reflects both my personal and professional dedication to honouring and celebrating the sacred feminine through art. I am also available for custom commissions, working closely with clients to translate their unique visions of Shakti into personalized works of art that resonate with their spiritual journey.
Join me on this creative and spiritual journey, where art becomes a vessel for divine connection, transformation, and the celebration of feminine energy.
