Haidakhandeshmari Ma is the all encompassing form of Divine Mother, (Mahakali, Mahalaxmi, Mahasaraswati) This is the 3rd image created of her specific form and attrubutes.
Mother of the Universe, her devine task is to deliver abundante and liberation to her children on Earth.
The crescent moon on the forehead of Haidakhandeshwari Ma is symbolic of Shiva as one of the names of Shiva is Chandrasekhar (one who holds the moon on his forehead).This is symbolic of Mahakali who is also called Mahamaya-the grand Illusionist. Maya or Illusion is a phenomenon where what seems or appears is not a reality. One example would be a flowing river which appears to be same but in reality it changes all the time. This is the same delusion where we think our bodies are same today as it was yesterday but again every moment cells are dying and new cells are being born. It is through the Grace of Mahamaya that we can overcome our delusions on this earth and understand our true nature.

The woman is shown in profile but with her bust turned in three-quarter view to reveal a medallion she is wearing around her neck, in which you will perceive the sihouette of a dancing figure.
This portrait brings me to Florence and Venice, the meeting with so much art intensity.
Inspired by the “Portrait of a Young Woman” painted by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, executed between 1480 and 1485. This painting is described as to be an ideally beautiful young woman mythologised as a nymph or goddess, The art historian Aby Warburg first suggested the painting was an idealised portrait of Simonetta Vespucci. Nicknamed la bella Simonetta, she was an Italian noblewoman from Genoa, the wife of Marco Vespucci of Florence and the cousin-in-law of Amerigo Vespucci. She was known as the greatest beauty of her age in Italy,
I painted this piece in memory of my cousin, Veronique Azan, great kathak dancer. She is dancing with all her powerful grace in the medallón of this idealised portrait. This portrait of Botticeli reminds me of all the amazingly beautiful women in my life. It is kept in Bali in the hands of a very special person.

One of the most beautiful still life I have ever seen. It was painted by Caravaggio. A basket of ripe fruits on the edge of a red table, allowing time to pass through.
I admire the beauty of all the small details, the rich shades of different colors, the contrast of dark and light, old and new, fresh and stale. For me it symbolizes the time we are all living in at this present moment.

My version of ´Flaming of June` is somewhat miniaturized as my painting is less then half the size of the original. For me this painting is my window to dreaming. Remembering the being, inviting me to look inside and accept all there is. I am so attracted to this woman enveloped in Indian yellows….. it takes me to summer when I am in winter.
Flaming June is a painting by Sir Frederic Leighton, produced in 1895. Painted with oil paints on a 120cm × 120cm (47-by-47-inch) square canvas, it is widely considered to be Leighton’s magnum opus, showing his classicist nature. It is thought that the woman portrayed alludes to the figures of sleeping nymphs and naiads the Greeks often sculpted. This painting takes me to the time when I discovered the Pre-Raphaelite beauty at the Tate Museum. I was impressed and felt the beauty of my ancestors. Please contact me for any other information or questions.

My Father, Philippe Camus is a great inspiration for me and helped me believe that all that I can imagine is possible, for example to be able to draw a hyperrealism drawing of his portrait.
We always lived in Nature and simplicity in wild parts of Spain, but every now and then my father would take us to Paris, gather with the family and we would always go to the Louvre, walking all its corridors remembering our ancestors, recognising beauty in silence. It was a great party time!
This portrait with just a pencil, made after he passed away in March 2015, from a beautiful photo my brother, Santiago Camus took.

Very fine shades of Indian ink of a dynamic stylized hose following a Himalayan houseman.
The inspiration for this painting comes from trekking adventures with my family in Ladakh, sometimes called “Little Tibet¨f because or its geological appearance and indigenous culture. Ladakh is inhabited by a population of Indo-aryan and Tibetan decent. This is one of the least populated area in Kashmir, India. After a long day off walk, our horses would be completely set free all night and before dawn the horsemen would go out in search of them. I was impressed with this way. We spent a month walking in one of the most beautiful lands I have ever seen, no cars, no truck, no trains. Just open space and occasionally we would pass a party of nomads.

Exposed in the “Museo de Los Angeles” by Lucía Bosé.
This Painting is directly inspired by the forest of Lalita in Sierra de Gata. It talks about the Balance of all the different beings in the same ecosphere, and how they all need each other to exist, some in the dark and others in the light …they breath magic from the ocean to the Forest spring into us.. Expressing harmony of the whole like fireflies in the night they light the way so that we can see where we belong.
