“My place is the Placeless, my trace is the Traceless; 'Tis neither body nor soul, for I belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one; One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.” --Rumi

Rithika Merchant is a visual artist from Mumbai, India (b 1986). Her work explores the common thread that runs through different cultures and religions. Similar myths, stories and ideas are shared by cultures all around the world, her paintings explore this concept while also featuring creatures and symbolism that are part of her personal visual vocabulary.

Nature plays a pivotal role in her work and is emphasised by the use of organic shapes and non saturated colours. Her paintings and collages are made using a combination of watercolour and cut paper elements, drawing on 17th century botanical prints and folk art, to create a body of work that is visually linked to our collective pasts.

“I would like the viewer to place themselves in my work, regardless of where they are from,” says Merchant. “The figures in my works are also deliberately free of any race, gender, or ethnicity. I tend to be drawn to symbols that are universally recognizable and not culturally specific—like the eye, the sun, the moon, and botanical imagery in general.”

Exemplary, astonishing paintings from San Antonio, Texas-based artist Cruz Ortiz.

Ortiz works in multiple mediums, including screen prints, paintings, sculptures, installations, and performance art. His works explore themes of nature, hope, healing, beauty, endurance, and the cosmos. Ortiz's artistic projects aim to document history, centering the periphery and capturing moments that have been erased from collective memory. He is currently focusing on painting as a romantic art historical form of documentation, mixing oil paintings with direct observation to push the critical contextualization of social political issues.

Holi: Festival of Colors “It was just a colour out of space—a frightful messenger from unformed realms of infinity beyond all Nature as we know it; from realms whose mere existence stuns the brain and numbs us with the black extra-cosmic gulfs it throws open before our frenzied eyes.”― H.P. Lovecraft, The Colour Out of Space The Colour Out of Space Talon Abraxas
