Dubai based artist Raj decided to go the spiritual way & came up with this multicoloured wonder . A 1969 Fiat transforms to become a metaphorical sculpture/installation piece named Omkara - the vehicle to cross the ocean of life. On one side of the car is an illustration of the majestic postcard India complete with elephants & a palace. On the other side is a rather kitch painting/sculpture of an unusually placid Shiva & his consort Parvati. On the reverse resides on lotuses, lord Vishnu. The interior of the car is lined with rich Indian textiles with the Hindu scriptures on them.
The future looks ambitious albiet fatal for Omkara , Raj has decided to take the car out for a spin ,starting the journey from the Arabian sea and ending up at the Indian Ocean where Omkara will be put to rest. A true metaphor of the evolution of all that is materialistic & therefore impermanent. Well, I hope Omkara has a good journey, lets toast to the most psychadelic Premier Padmini that ever was !
