Acrylics Painting ~ GAIA (Mother Goddess)




"GAIA  (Mother Goddess)
Acrylics on paper
22"×28"



This artwork of mine is again an abstract. As I said before, I get inspiration from the nature and the things around me. You will always find a touch of nature in my artworks. I got inspiration from nature only to do this artwork Gaia (Mother Goddess).


In Greek mythology, Gaia was the personification of Earth and one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia was the great Mother of all : the primal Greek Mother Goddess ; creator and giver of birth to the Earth and all the Universe ; the heavenly gods, the Titans and the Giants were born to her. The gods reigning over their classical pantheon were born from her union with Uranus (the sky), while the sea-gods were born from her union with Pontus (the sea). Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Terra. Oaths sworn in the name of Gaia, in ancient Greece, were considered the most binding of all. (Source : Wikipedia)

From here I got the perfect title for my artwork.


I have done this artwork to show that the Earth is our mother. She is the creator and giver of birth. We should take care of her. I used acrylics on paper, because I think acrylics give shine to the work. I have made background in the way that it would look like Universe and used blue and green shades for this purpose. So that the viewers get a vision of whole universe in my painting and also focused on the Mother Earth. That's why I put the shadow like image of the Mother Earth at the center holding a tree. My main purpose to do this artwork was to tell that Mother Earth is our creator, she nurtures us. If we would not take care of her then she could also destroy us. Save the Mother Earth if you want to live.
