“The theme of (my) the paintings can only be attributed to being born out of this deep well of Meditation and Yoga. Yoga as a spiritual practice continues to ignite expressions from my heart; it constantly prods me to explore the intricate links between the physical, emotional and psychic aspects of who I am. It also allows me to experience my connection with others in inexplicable ways, a connection which evokes a serpentine, mystic dance between the visual and subtle dimensions, the Tantric metaphor for the resonance between the Yantras and the Mantras.” – Dipika Rajgarhia
