The Tale of Kama
Mixed media on canvas

Kama is the Hindu version of the male love god akin to the Greek's Cupid. He uses the symbolic arrow to awaken the personality and open it to love. I chose for my kama a male fashion image. Since Kama is also known as the "fire" or "inflamer" I poured red wax into this painting. His bow and arrow are made from plumbing parts. His sugar cane bow stretched by a string of bees was made from beads.
