“Discovery of India - Balance in Mind and in Spirit” Lodhi Colony block 9, quarters 717-736 By @saner_edgar Art details from @startindia "The mural is inspired by some concepts that have crossed over to Mexico about the Hindu philosophies, mainly addressing the enlightenment through self-knowledge, through following a spiritual path and above all looking for the rebirth of and being to improve within from ourselves." On the sides, a man and a woman represent the order and balance in the universe, their clothes and adornments identify Mexican and Hindu traditions that create a bridge between the two cultures. Saner often used masks in his work which are an integral part of Mexican culture and are often used as a tool to reveal the true nature of human beings using animal forms. The human wearing a tiger mask on the left side of the wall is representative of Indian culture and people. The rich diversity of the two countries are represented by the flora and fauna. This is also an important motif for Saner since he wants people to remember that we are one with the planet and its natural beauty which has to be protected. The lateral characters - the Monkey and the Dog are the protectors - the guards, and above all, the guides who look after you on your path to enlightenment. Finally, the lotus flower is a symbol of hope, while the heart in the middle is the humanity that binds us all together. Saner's artwork is the preview of the Lodhi Art District festival 2019 . #serenejourneys #artforall #startindia #asianpaints #startdelhi #lodhiartdistrict #publicart (at Lodhi colony) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuBDy4gl0VC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=103m020mg5pi1
