Shakti Temple Dancer
Oil on canvas
SECOND PLACE AWARD
Artist Statement
In the devotional offering of the temple dance, Halo Seronko of Boise invites the awakening of Shakti, the energy of creation, manifestation and love. Unlocking the soul’s yearning for communion with innate divinity, Halo embodies the divine feminine. Halo has trained countless hours in a classical Indian dance form born of the temples of east India, Odissi. These experiences infused her development of what she has coined Shakti Temple Dance, expressed here. The exquisite details of her adornments, the beauty of the temple, and the elegance of the dancer’s form are what I hoped to capture in this painting.
