Oya's symbol is the storm raging around her, while she herself remains completely calm. This painting is a symbol not only of thinking about changing certain things, but of actually tackling it and mustering the drive to act.<\/p>\n<p>The buffalo accompanies the goddess Oya, as it stands for strength, clarity, and power<\/p>\n<p>In my series Essence, I portray well-known goddesses from various cultures and place them in a modern context: These symbols are timeless and remind you of what always is: Your true essence, your power. Unlike in my <a href=\"https:\/\/sonjaneuroth.de\/en\/product-category\/series-mythology\/\">series Mythology<\/a> in this series I also consciously abstract the goddess figures themselves a bit, by only rendering them partially realistically. This emphasizes their symbolic character and invites you to bring your own interpretation into the respective image.<\/p>\n<p>The painting was created in multiple layers using acrylic and oil paints, texture paste, and gold paint.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the development process here:<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:600px;--awb-max-height:360px;--awb-align-self:center;--awb-width:100%;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:60%;\" ><iframe data-privacy-type=\"youtube\" src=\"\" class=\"fusion-hidden lazyload\" title=\"YouTube video player 1\" data-privacy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e-YI-93VxE8?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0&amp;rel=0\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e-YI-93VxE8?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0&amp;rel=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;\"><\/iframe><div class=\"fusion-privacy-placeholder\" style=\"width:600px; height:360px;\" data-privacy-type=\"youtube\"><div class=\"fusion-privacy-placeholder-content\"><div class=\"fusion-privacy-label\">For privacy reasons YouTube needs your permission to be loaded.
