Luck from Ganesh

Luck from Ganesh

The religion that inspired my work is Hinduism. I think my artwork connects to religion because it is a visualisation of the deity of Luck – Ganesh. I tried to show my visions through the drawing of what I think The Deity of luck would look like. My inspiration came from other people’s thoughts and ideas of what Ganesh might be wearing. I pulled separate pieces together to draw this work.

In my picture you can see the many riches and jewellery Ganesh wears and the Aum symbol on the top of his trunk. Whilst making this piece, I discovered that many people visualise things in many ways and sometimes different to what you may think for example, some people think Ganesh has many different tones in colour and that he has certain amounts of jewellery. What I like most about my artwork is that quite a lot of it was made from multiple ideas put together and that it was slightly different to other peoples.
