The first is literal: the title itself originates from the image of pure faith, embodied by the girl making a selfless offering to the deity. Such sincerity is usually found in children.<\/p>\n<p>The second level is symbolic: typically, a deity is not worshiped if there are cracks or if something has broken off. It is believed that it has already left that form. However, the girl pays no attention to the material flaws, even when the adults have abandoned their worship.<\/p>\n<p>The third level is metaphysical. At the bottom of the painting, you can see that the girl is climbing not only over old stones but also over the broken pieces of the deity\u2019s weapons. Usually, Durga has eight arms with different weapons in them, so this is an allegory that even Durga is willing to lay down her weapons before those who sincerely serve her with love.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, this artwork reflects the main idea that love is the most powerful energy in the world, originating from a simple yet profoundly valuable quality \u2014 sincerity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Signature:<\/strong> Artist signed lower right<br data-start=\"720\" data-end=\"723\" \/><strong>COA:<\/strong> Gallery Letter of Authenticity included<br data-start=\"767\" data-end=\"770\" \/><strong>Provenance:<\/strong> Artist \u2192 Vancouver Fine Art Gallery<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vancouverfineartgallery.com\/zh-hans\/contemporary-artists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View more of our Contemporary artworks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vancouverfineartgallery.com\/zh-hans\/old-masters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Old Masters artworks<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil on Canvas, 2023<\/p>\n<p>48 x 30 in | 122 x 76 cm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":27870,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[345],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-27879","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-anna-petrova-zh-hans","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-simple","12":"art-masonry-item"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
