Tantric Painting
Tantric paintings are a study of the relationship between the physical body and the universe. They push toward abstraction and are usually complex. They are made for ritualistic meditation and together with disciplined bodily behavior will equip the practitioner with the power to control the outer world. When a tantra painting is worshipped it becomes the symbolic representation of a deity and it abounds in energy. Every such painting is the dwelling place of the deity who is being represented.
