| Vivek Kumavat
Contemporary Indian artist Vivek Kumavat’s original paintings honor the bull’s majestic spirit and cultural significance through Nandi, the sacred bull calf and gatekeeper of Lord Shiva. Raised in a small town surrounded by domesticated animals, he has always been drawn to the bull for its strength, gentleness and special importance not only in Indian mythology but in popular Zodiac astrology. The bull, as both a holy figure and a practical worker, radiates positivity and health.
In all art by Vivek Kumavat, one or multiple Nandis are the central focus of the canvas, tossing their noble heads and joyfully prancing. Their muscular bodies and lively spirits emphasize their physical and mental endurance. As their gestures reflect human expressions, the artist hopes that his Nandis will encourage people to develop their own inner perseverance and contentment.
