Golden Swan Lake Collection { ARTiara }

The Golden Swan Lake

Folklores and folktales have been an integral part of every culture since ages. When it comes to Indian folk tales, the country of diverse religions, languages and cultures has a complete range of tales and short stories and Jataka tales come among this wide range of folklores. These luminous fables of ‘Jataka’ (based in 300 B.C.) are written for the mankind to impart values of self-sacrifice, morality and honesty.

This collection is inspired by the Jataka tales concerning the previous lives of Bodhisattva where swans and lotuses played an essential soulful part in the stories.

Lotus is a symbol of purity, spontaneous, divine birth and fortune; it rises and blooms above the murk just as a soul enlightens above all the dark murk and emerges to achieve nirvana. Swans that are considered one of the most beautiful birds are a symbol of purity, innocence and liberty.

This collection comes alive with the same symbolism; with the soft pastel tones, and a tinge of brights, lotus petal patterns, and soft soothing textures. My muse is that free swan; the awakened bird that is a carefree soul and has the courage to spread wings and follow her dreams.
