Kundalini 1984

"Kundalini" is a 1984 work by Ukrainian artist Oleksandr Aksinin, who tragically passed away in 1985. Aksinin’s work often incorporated mystical and religious symbolism, and this artwork, created in the style of Surrealism, is a prime example. The composition is dominated by a central, organically shaped vessel containing a sprout-like form, suggestive of the rise of energy in the Hindu concept of Kundalini. Aksinin’s intricate use of line and detail adds to the artwork’s mystical and introspective quality.
