Macht Zur See Power at Sea by Abhishek Daga in New Delhi
Macht Zur See Power at Sea
This was painted on a 46*15 feet wall. Some excerpts in this mural are taken from sculpture made at Vienna by Rudolf Weyr in 1895. Presumably, the picture depicts Poseidon who looks on from a rock alongside a heroic nude woman with a robe conveniently flying across her groin standing on a ship, presumably his wife and contour Amphitrite at the top who is considered the goddess of calm seas and safe passage through storms while Poseidon was known for his rage and considered god of storms and earthquakes. It is said that Amphitrite’s voice is the only thing that can calm her husband’s mightiest of rages and lull him to a deep slumber so as to bring the ocean to peace once more. There also is one man who seem to be getting condemned to the ocean depths. There is not much literature about the sculpture anywhere thus making it open to interpretation. So originally it could mean for both of them to be ruling together in harsh conditions while there are others who cannot survive the sea’s wrath. Or it could depict the superiority of Amphitrite’s calmness over Poseidon’s wrath and rage. There also have been authors who have linked it to sexuality and have quoted that ‘power can be seducing sometimes’. Or it could even mean something else, thus leaving a room for one to have their own interpretation and making it the kind of work that I love the most, the ones leaving a mystery and raising a question.
I am a visual artist. I do almost all sorts of artworks from a wall mural, painting, tattoo, digital artwork, cover artwork to merchandise designing.
I started learing about fine arts back in the day to clear my basics on how to give my imagination a shape. Being very driven for the passion i had to make art and bring a change, early in my career i started making street art and graffiti. Over the years i have executed over 200+ wall murals alone. With passing time in the industry i started learning about creating designs digitally and have so far created over 100+ digital designs for cover arts, merchandises, murals, NFTs, tattoos, logos, and other brand necessities.
Over the years i have executed murals and have done digital designing for major brands like Honda, Nestle, Adidas, Showcraft, Magic Bus, Government of India, Delhi Metro, alongwith multiple other clients.
