WAKE UP!

In "Wake Up," a man split in two—half Shiva, half Jesus—stands over a woman asleep on her bed, a laptop open over her. Floating trees with exposed roots fill the background, symbolizing consciousness untethered from the body, just as these trees are unanchored from the earth. This painting explores the divide between our conditioned selves and our true essence. Through the symbolism of Jesus and Shiva—figures of resurrection and renewal—it invites us to awaken to our "real" selves, the soul that transcends ego and cultural programming. This fusion of Eastern and Western spiritual philosophy urges viewers to shed old constructs, reconnect with one another, and embrace the possibility of transformation and self-discovery each day.

Each edition is a finely crafted piece of art, individually titled, numbered, and signed by Ketna Patel. Depending on the work’s nature, it is produced either as a C-Type print on Fuji gloss paper or as a Giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, both ensuring archival durability and suitability for diverse climates, including humid environments like Singapore. Prints are created at esteemed studios in London, Singapore, or New Delhi, using premium archival materials. Limited to 50 copies per size (150 total unframed), each is shipped carefully rolled in a poster tube. For a slick, glossy, contemporary look, the artwork is also offered as Acrylic or HD Metal prints, each limited to 25 per size. Acrylic prints are made on 5mm thick, 70% recycled glossy acrylic with a premium foil backing that amplifies colour richness and depth, framed in white, black, or natural wood.
