Artist: Om Swami
Om Swami is a self-taught artist and has no formal education in art.
He comes from a humble background with little academic education. To make a living, he started with odd jobs like selling milk and newspapers. Later, he got a job as a design tracer in a textile unit.
Further, he did hand painting on ceramic tiles and then drawing figures of Ganeshas on wedding cards. He feels his immense faith in God has seen him through hard times and he continues to paint Ganeshas from time to time. His Ganeshas are truly vibrant, colorful and 'happy'.
Another subject that is close to his heart is the 'Mood' series - it depicts couples in moments of togetherness and bliss.
The 'Moods' series is one of the favorites of the artist, Om Swami. Bright vibrant colors, so typical of his works, male and female forms looking very ethereal with fluid lines; and the moon, flute, flower and butterfly in the back drop to set the 'mood'.

Meditate on pure consciousness as the basis of all that exists. Negate the names and forms which are expressions of mental consciousness. It is pure consciousness which refracts itself through the mind and assumes various forms. The world is superimposed on consciousness. It is a product of maya or divine illusion. When ignorance is destroyed by knowledge, when Intuitive vision dawns on man, everything is perceived as Brahman, the self or pure consciousness.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chance Nkosi Gomez known as Sri Govindaji (29 years of age) initiated by H.H Swami Jyotirmayanda as Sri Govinda walks an integral yogic path in which photography is the primary creative field of expression. The medium was introduced during sophomore year of high school by educator Dr. Devin Marsh of Robert Morgan Educational Center. Coming into alignment with light, its nature and articulating the camera was the focus during that time. Thereafter while completing a Photographic Technology Degree, the realization of what made an image “striking” came to the foreground of the inner dialogue. These college years brought forth major absorption and reflection as an apprentice to photographer and educator Tony A. Chirinos of Miami Dade College. The process of working towards a singular idea of interest and thus building a series became the heading from here on while the camera aided in cultivating an adherence to the present moment. The viewfinder resembles a doorway to the unified field of consciousness in which line, shape, form, color, value, texture all dissolve. It is here that the yogi is reminded of sat-chit-ananda (the supreme reality as all-pervading; pure consciousness). As of May 2024 Govinda has completed his 300hr yoga teacher training program at Sattva Yoga Academy studying from Master Yogi Anand Mehrotra in Rishikesh, India, Himalayas. This has strengthened his personal Sadhana and allows one to carry and share ancient Vedic Technology leading others in ultimately directing their intellect to bloom into intuition. As awareness and self-realization grows so does the imagery that is all at once divine in the mastery of capturing and controlling light. Over the last seven years he has self-published six photographic books, Follow me i’ll be right behind you (2017), Sonata - Minimal Study (2018), Birds Singing Lies (2018), Rwanda (2019), Where does the body begin? (2019) & Swayam Jyotis (2023). Currently, Govinda is employed at the Leica Store Miami as a camera specialist and starting his journey as a practitioner of yoga ॐ
