Original artwork description:
"The Sun Goddess" painting by Artist Swarup Dandapat is an ode to the female energy, which drives light, inspiration, healing, vitality and creation. Although many believe that Sun gods are primarily male in gender, ancient civilizations across the world have female Sun goddesses worshipped for their role in fertility and creation. In Egypt, for example, the earliest Sun deities were all female. Japan's Amaterasu (Shinto religion), Sol/Sunna (Norse mythology), Arinna (Hittite/Syrian), Shemesh/Shepesh (Canaanite), Bila (of the Adnyamathanha people of Australia), or Alectrona (Greek) -- are but a few of the famous Sun goddesses. In India, the Minyong tribe in Arunachal Pradesh has their own sun goddess called Bomong. Swarup was inspired by these mythologies and cultures when he created his own version of the sun goddess in this painting. She has no extra-terrestrial power or divine intervention from the outside, but her inner strength and determination makes her a force to reckon with -- a force that protects and nurtures.
