About this artwork

In a plain landscape, a fire emerges in the distance giving birth to a ghostly cloud. The vastness of the land and the sky, contrasts with the wobbly figure which adds to the scene humor. Landscapes are leitmotifs in Vidya Gastaldon’s work and are frequently accompanied with ethereal figures giving to the scene a surreal feel.

With her mystical, fantastical and extremely vivid approach to art, Gastaldon develops a sort of harmonization of qualities both spiritual and physical. Her mystical approach–nourished from an array of beliefs that go from Hindu and Aztec mythology to meditation and yoga–is testament to her multifaceted practice. She engenders new beliefs, and by means of negative and positive impulses she pushes social unconsciousness out of the way, liberating our collective thought of the predefined egregores that oblige us to keep reproducing spiritual and social patterns.
