Ardhanarishwara – High Quality Print of Artwork by Pieter Weltevrede

Ardhanarishwara is a unified form of the dual nature of the masculine and feminine energy of the cosmos. It is represented by the combined form of Hindu god Shiva and his consort Shakti. It shows that the true god is non-dual, and the duality exists only in our physical world/existence. Ardhanarishwara also depicts the male energy of the universe – Purusha – and the female energy of the universe – Prakriti, the union of which starts the process of creation. Thus Ardhanarishwara is a symbol of creation.

The Artwork is printed on Felix Schoeller coated matte paper imported from Germany, which is a type of paper specifically designed to have a smooth, non-reflective surface. The printing process utilized Epson Ultrachrome HDX inks, known for their high-quality and durability, if framed and displayed under specific conditions like room temperature will last for few decades . These inks are renowned for their vibrant color reproduction and excellent fade resistance, ensuring that the printed artwork maintains its visual appeal for a long period of time.
