This is my own original and not a copy of a master painting. I painted it with the style of Modigliani's caryatids in mind. The actual Tara statue I worked from is very ornate. I wanted to see how much I could leave out and and still make it look like her. I like the way her leg came out on the right side (her left).
The mudra (sacred hand gesture) that she's doing symbolizes the union of God and the individual soul. That's what the word "yoga" means, union.
