The Four Lineages of Naga: A Myth Reimagined

This series is inspired by the ancient belief in the Four Great Naga Lineages from Thai and Southeast Asian mythology. The naga, divine serpent beings, are said to inhabit both the earthly and spiritual realms, each lineage embodying a distinct character and symbolism.

The Iridescent Naga, radiant in rainbow hues, dwells beneath subterranean waters and represents beauty, mysticism, and hidden treasures. The Verdant Naga, cloaked in green, lives closest to humankind and symbolizes fertility, growth, and the bridge between the human and spiritual worlds. The Golden Naga, revered as the sovereign ruler, embodies divine authority, prosperity, and supreme power. Lastly, the Obsidian Naga, veiled in black, is the guardian of secret realms, representing mystery, hidden strength, and untold wisdom.

Each painting in this series blends mythology with high fashion and oil painting aesthetics, reimagining the naga not only as guardians of the spiritual world but also as symbols of elegance, resilience, and beauty. The goddesses, adorned in intricate regalia, stand alongside the serpents in moments of reverence, intimacy, and transcendence.

Through this visual dialogue between mythology and contemporary art, the series celebrates both cultural heritage and personal imagination. It aims to honor the timeless stories of the naga while presenting them in a way that resonates with modern artistic sensibilities. By fusing tradition with luxury fashion and painterly textures, the work invites viewers to step into a realm where myth becomes tangible and beauty itself becomes a form of power.
