Diana MALIVANI - The Sea of Samsara

«Diana Malivani’s heterogeneous and comprehensive oeuvre reflects her dexterity and visual acuity in every artwork, however while considering her wider collection I instantly found ‘Sea of Samsara’ particularly compelling as it is so axiomatic of its subject. Malvani effortlessly and sedulously translates the ethos of Samsara via remarkable compositional features and her astute application of medium; indeed, the cyclical motion of the piece visually references philosophical ideas of rebirth, reincarnation and overlapping narratives».

The name of the artwork, «The Sea of Samsara», deals with Indian philosophical and religious traditions and means the endless ocean we must cross, lifetime after lifetime, to reach that far distant shore, termed in Buddhism Nirvana.
