WELCOME TO SUREEL ART SEASON 2
In the universe, everything seems revolving around something else. Everything is in a flux. How beautifully everything is functioning. Is there a source? From where ideas come to me and go on manifesting through me?
Such were the thoughts around me during the Sureel Art season 2. The Life cycle series happened in this season. Hilma AF Klint inspired me to make some pieces on Buddha's theme of 'Balance'. The plight of Indian women moved me to bring Indra and Ahilya story into wood.
Most of the artworks in Sureel Art Season 2 are based on mysteries of life and are abstract in nature.
If you like the artworks in this season, then please share it with your near and dears!

Shiva-Shakti #11 - The Life Cycle - Harmony
Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 22 X 24 Inches, 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India It is my feeling that everything in the universe is just a play of two opposite but complementary energies, like Shiva and Shakti, which go on playing in harmony until a desire enters either of them to become something. शिव-शक्ति #11 - जीवन चक्र - सद्भाव लकड़ी मोज़ेक / मूर्तिकला, 22 x 24 इंच, 2018 सुरील कुमार मेरे देखे, ब्रह्मांड में सब कुछ शिव और शक्ति की तरह दो विपरीत लेकिन पूरक ऊर्जाओ
Shiva-Shakti #10 - The Life Cycle - Desire
Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 21 X 24 Inches, 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India As I feel, nothing stays forever in existence. It is a mystery why things keep changing all the time. Do they change due to sheer boredom? I am not sure. But I feel that when Shiva and Shakti, the two basic forces in the universe, decide to get out of harmony, each of them is filled with a desire to do something opposite but complementary. शिव-शक्ति #10 - जीवन चक्र - इच्छा लकड़ी मोज़ेक /
Shiva-Shakti #9 - The Life Cycle - Separation
Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 21 X 10 Inches (2 Pieces), 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India I feel that in the eternal cosmic dance, when the desires of Shiva and Shakti, the two contrary but complementary forces of nature, become stronger and stronger individually, then they start their new journey in the opposite direction by falling apart from each other. शिव-शक्ति #9 - जीवन चक्र - विदाई लकड़ी मोज़ेक / मूर्तिकला, 21 X 10 इंच (दो टुकड़े), 2018 सुरील कुमार मुझे लगत
Shiva-Shakti #8 - The Life Cycle - Expansion
Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 20 X 26 Inches, 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India When you are alone and free, you start expanding. I feel that is the same case with the cosmic play of Shiva and Shakti. After being apart, they start expanding, and it is a mystery how, during this expansion, they get entangled together again. शिव-शक्ति #8 - जीवन चक्र - विस्तार लकड़ी मोज़ेक / मूर्तिकला, 20 X 26 इंच, 2018 सुरील कुमार जब आप अकेले और मुक्त होते हैं, तो आप विस्तार करना शु
Shiva-Shakti #7 - The Life Cycle - Pullback
Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 20 X 29 Inches, 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Scientists say that all the galaxies in the universe are going away from each other. But, as I see it, everything in life revolves around a circle. Nothing stays forever. So I feel that any kind of expansion cannot go on and on forever. There must come a point when, mysteriously, the expansion stops and the opposite but complementary cosmic forces, Shiva and Shakti, start pulling back ag
Shiva-Shakti #6 - The Life Cycle - Consolidation
Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 21 X 18 Inches, 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India When two far-away things or energies start attracting each other, they finally consolidate themselves into a single entity. I feel that in the same way, in the cosmic play of the opposite but complementary forces of the universe, Shiva and Shakti, after remaining away from each for some time, consolidate and move towards a state of almost perfect and beautiful harmony. शिव-शक्ति #6 - जीव
Buddha - The Right Effort
Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 24X 24 Inches, 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India One of Buddha's teachings on his Noble Eightfold Path is "the right effort." It sounds very plausible. Without the right effort, we can't achieve anything in our lives. The truth can't be found without the right effort. महात्मा बुद्ध - सही प्रयास लकड़ी मोज़ेक / मूर्तिकला, 24 x 24 इंच, 2018 सुरील कुमार महात्मा बुद्ध के महान आठ गुना मार्ग पर शिक्षाओं में से एक "सही प्रयास" है। यह बहुत ठीक ल
Buddha's Way - The Right Balance
Wood Mosaic/ Mural, 24X 24 Inches, 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India (Not Available) I am very impressed by Buddha's first teaching, "the middle way" that he gave after his enlightenment. It does not mean "moderation or a compromise between the two extremes"; rather, it means "without entering either of the two extremes". I have noticed that whenever I am able to see my thoughts and emotions without judging them, I feel a kind of harmony in me. As if everythin
Buddha - The Middle Way
Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 24X 24 Inches, 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India I am very much impressed by the Buddha's teaching of "the middle way," a spiritual practice that steers clear of both extreme asceticism and sensual indulgence. In me, I feel the continuous conflict between my logical thoughts and emotions. But by following Buddha's "the middle way" teaching, I feel immediately peaceful when I stay in the middle and watch the logic-emotions conflict. महात
Buddha's Viewpoint - A Tribute to Hilma AF klint
Wood Mosaic/ Mural, 24X 24 Inches, 2018 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India (Not Available) I am fascinated by the mysterious abstract paintings of Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) from Sweden. She is supposed to be the first abstract painter in the world. Her abstract artworks predate the first purely abstract artworks by Kandinsky, Malevi, and Mondrian. I like her painting, Buddha's Standpoint, very much. As I see it, she beautifully depicted Buddha's concept of the midd
The Intrinsic Desire
Wood Mosaic/ Sculpture, 27 X 78 Inches, 2017 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India (Not Available) In me and in everything around me, I feel a mysterious desire to become something, to attain something, or to reach somewhere. Trees, plants, birds, insects, animals, mountains, rivers, stars, and so on—all seem to fulfill a kind of intrinsic desire. But it looks like nobody knows what this intrinsic desire is. आंतरिक इच्छा लकड़ी मोज़ेक / मूर्तिकला, 27 x 78 इंच, 2017 सुरी
Ek Onkar - The Source
Wood Mosaic/ Mural, 30 X 36 Inches, 2017 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India (Not Available) From the periphery, everything seems fully logical, structured, and well defined, but as we go deeper into the center of anything, we find the truth hidden behind utter mystery. For example, scientists are unable to explain the mysteries of the atomic and quantum worlds. And it is very surprising that in Sikhism, Ek Onkar is said to be the primal manifestation of truth, God,
Om - The Source
Wood Mosaic/ Mural, 30 X 36 Inches, 2017 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India (Not Available) From the periphery, everything seems fully logical, structured, and well defined, but as we go deeper into the center of anything, we find the truth hidden behind utter mystery. For example, scientists are unable to explain the mysteries of the atomic and quantum worlds. And it is very surprising that in Hinduism, Om is said to be the essence of supreme absolute, or the cente
Let's Go IN - The Young Monk
Mosaic/ Mural, 24 X 66 Inches, 2017 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Sometimes outward activities and routines in my life become very boring, as if my life is just a kind of repetition of the same activities again and again. In those moments, I try to find some solace by going inside me and turning my back on the outward world, like this young monk in this mosaic. चलिए भीतर चलें - युवा भिक्षु चित्रित लकड़ी मोज़ेक / भित्ति, लकड़ी के टुकड़ों पर तेल पेंट, 24 x 66 इंच
ILHAAM
Wood Mosaic/ Mural, 38 X 38 Inches, 2017 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India In a dream, I felt myself like a seed, fully programmed and protected with a hard shell. And I felt a mysterious kind of code in the shape of a wave entering the seed without breaking it. As this energy moved through the seed, I felt subtle changes in the program of the seed. I felt that the seed was preparing to sprout. Is it how Ilhaam (a divine message or intuition) decends? इलहाम अर्ध चि
Khajuraho Dancer
Wood Mosaic/ Mural, 45 X 81 Inches, 2017 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India I am fascinated by the beautiful, harmonious, and mysterious pattern sculpted on the façade of 10th-century Khajuraho temples in central India. I felt like giving a tribute to the unknown artists of Khajuraho by embedding this mesmerizing pattern in a wooden mosaic. खजुराहो डांसर लकड़ी मोज़ेक / भित्ति, 45 x 81 इंच, 2017 सुरील कुमार मैं मध्य भारत में 10 वीं शताब्दी के खजुराहो मंदिरों के अग्र
Osho Signature (Semi Painted)
Wood Sculpture, 22 X 70 Inches, 2017 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India (Not Available) By the way, everybody's signature is unique, but Osho's is very mysterious and a beautiful piece of art. I love it. This is my version of Osho's signature. ओशो हस्ताक्षर सेमी पेंटिड लकड़ी की मूर्तिकला, 70 X 22 IN, 2017 सुरील कुमार वैसे तो हर किसी के हस्ताक्षर अद्वितीय होते हैं, लेकिन ओशो के हस्ताक्षर बहुत ही रहस्यमय और कला का एक सुंदर नमूना है। मुझे वह पसंद हैं। यह ओशो के हस्त

Ahalya
Wood Mosaic/ Mural, 28 X 34 Inches, 2017 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India In Hindu mythology, Lord Indra was infatuated by the beauty of the sage Gautama's wife, Ahalya. One day, Indra, who masquerades as Gautama, came to Ahalya's hut and slept with her in the absence of Gautama. When Gautama learned about the incident, he cursed both of them. He cursed Indra to lose his testicles, as well as cirsed and turned Ahalya into a stone as a punishment. To me, Ahalya was
Indra and Ahalya
Wood Mosaic/ Mural, 66 X 37 Inches, 2017 Sureel Kumar Location: Gidderbaha, Pb, India Being born into a Hindu family, I am fascinated by many intelligent Hindu concepts like shiva-shakti, brahma, vishnu, and mahesh; satyam, shivam, sundaram, etc. But I feel ashamed about their treatment of women and shudras (untouchables). In Hinduism, Ahalya was the wife of Sage Gautama. Lord Indra was infatuated by the beauty of Ahalya. One day, Indra, who masquerades as Gautama, came to Ah
