G. Linsenmayer traditional-modern original digital image ... an original digital fine art piece. This picture is an original piece of computer-developed digital art, a picture of a female nude, Tanya as an Apsara, a kind of heavenly dancing girl who, according to Hindu mythology - accomplished in a contemporary style. "... Apsaras are beautiful, supernatural female beings. They are youthful and elegant, and superb in the art of dancing. They are often the wives of the Gandharvas, the court musicians of Indra. They dance to the music made by the Gandharvas, usually in the palaces of the gods, entertain and sometimes seduce gods and men. As caretakers of fallen heroes, they may be compared to the valkyries of Norse mythology. As ethereal beings who inhabit the skies, and are often depicted taking flight, or at service of a god, they may be compared to angels. Searching online, quite a number of modern groups of women appearing as Aspharas, dancing, may be found, as here.  There also are overwhelming quantities of ancient Indian and Asian religious literature and mythology; here is a nice one about " Vikramaditya and the Apsaras - King Vikramaditya was one of the greatest Kings in the world. He was so great that Lord Indra, the King of the Devas himself very often sought for Vikramditya's advice on many matters. "One such story deals with how Vikramditya judged Urvashi and Rambha's dance performance to determine the winner. ..."; go here for the story...

A 10th-century sandstone statue of an Apsara from Madhya Pradesh, India. In ancient classical Asia (and for that matter, also today...) the Absaras are popular art motifs.  There seem to be lots of issues as to art pieces of Absaras, "Devata", or whatever.  Below, (from Wikipedia), "A male devata, flanked by a two apsaras, Vishnu temple, Prambanan Some of well known Hindu-Buddhist heavenly beings belong to the group of devatas, such as apsara or vidhyadari; heavenly maiden that sent by Indra from svarga to seduces the meditating ascetics, and her male counterparts; gandharvas; the heavenly musicians. Devatas often occurred in Hindu epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharata, and also some Buddhist holy scriptures." Apsaras of Angkor Wat, Cambodia - "Apsaras are a kind of heavenly dancing girl who, according to Hindu mythology, were originally created as a sort of fortuitous byproduct of the churning of the sea of milk (the Hindu creation myth), and who dance to entertain the gods and also conveniently function as a theoretical heavenly reward for any Angkor warriors who happened to die in battle for the glory of their megalomaniac king."

I am a realist at heart, and enjoy interpreting realistic motifs in color and mood. My style includes traditional methods applied in a casual-realist manner usually a relatively thin underpainting, and using transparent glazes to enrich colors and shadows. Recently I have also been doing some new prints and paintings as mixed-media on paper and as direct original digital images. All images are copyright.
