Celebrate diversity series - By love we stand together

Celebrate diversity series - By love we stand together - This oil on canvas 80 x 100 cm shows baby Christ with mother Mary from Christianity and Krishna avatar (baby Krishna) with mother Yashoda from Hindu mythology. Surrounded by the forest and the cattle and enjoying the early morning sunlight creeping through the forest, both mothers and their children show the beauty in simplicity and love.
Throughout the life of Christ and Krishna one can find many similarities. This painting focuses on their childhood that touches on the similarity of their lifestyle and thereby celebrates diversity. Both Krishna and Christ were of a royal decency and are believed to be the incarnations of God. Yet both spent their childhoods as ordinary children. Furthermore, this painting highlights the strong women who had played important roles in the lives of these godmen.
