Durga Original Art by Nicola Bird

£3,000

Artwork frame material Oak

Oak White Black

Durga is a Hindu Goddess and represents the fierce, protective form of the Divine Mother. Her name means “the invincible one” or “fortress.”

She embodies Shakti – the creative feminine energy of the universe – especially in her form as the warrior who destroys evil and restores balance.

She calls to the woman who wants to remember her strength AND fluidity.

For this piece, the blues were calling me - and what showed up was a combination of depth, spaciousness and beauty. You can sink into her for hours.

This acrylic painting comes ready to hang. 30" x 40" framed with an your choice of float frame on 38mm deep wrapped professional grade canvas. Signed on the front.

why buy original art?

An original painting is completely unique. There is only one in the world, created slowly by hand, with every layer, mark and texture carrying something of the artist who made it.

Unlike a print, an original has a physical presence that is difficult to capture on a screen. You can see the brushstrokes, the depth of the paint and the tiny imperfections that make it unmistakably yours.

about the artist

Nicola Bird

I didn't pick up a paintbrush until I was 52, shortly before my mother died. It felt as though she handed me her torch, and I've been painting ever since.

Before that, I built businesses, wrote books, raised a family and spent years helping people navigate change. My paintings come from all of it: the joy, the grief, the menopause, the reinvention, the particular ache of the in-between.

I paint instinctively. Music on, paint down, following the feeling rather than a plan. I want my work to hit you in the gut, change the way you breathe, and create that unmistakable moment when you look at a painting and know, without question: she's mine.

My collectors tend to be women at midlife and beyond who have lived enough to recognise something in the work. They don't choose a painting because it matches the sofa. They choose it because they've been through the fires of midlife and a part of them wants to be reclaimed.
