Angeles Moreno / 2011 / Acrylic on reclaimed wood panel / 12x 24 inches

Hanuman, together with Ganesha and Garuda, is one of the three major Hindu deities with animalistic physical features. Believed to be an avatar of Lord Shiva, Hanuman is worshiped as a symbol of physical strength, perseverance and devotion. Hanuman’s tale in the epic Ramayana – where he is assigned the responsibility to locate Rama’s wife Sita abducted by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka — is known for its astounding ability to inspire and equip a reader with all the ingredients needed to face ordeals and conquer obstructions in the way of the world.
