“Dramatically Defiant” by Durba Sen
Dramatically Defiant by Durba Sen
To establish within oneself a protest, and allow the strength of your inner source and goodness to speak out, is the honor of a heightened human condition. And to do so with intense, authentic, and refreshing beauty, is to bestow a noble gift upon those who encounter your rare and exquisite offering.
In her wonderful piece, “Dramatically Defiant”, Durba Sen has accomplished all that and more.
Submerged in radiant colors, and peeking out from another realm, her work here truly defies identity, even with its spectrum of cubism, and abstract expressionism, Sen garners an invaluable tribute to Picaso and Mondrian in a unique and potent calling.
This piece bursts out on its own to rename and reclaim a victory of women, for women, and as a guide to the outrage of all injustice to the female entity…as it simultaneously refrains from victimhood, subservience, or bluster.
Through this piece we are reminded of our own inner magnificence, and challenged to reignite such energy, hold it close, as we allow this great essence to wash over us, until we can become it, once again with all its glory.
This wonderful work proceeds with or without an agenda, as a shield, or as a weapon, as an extended hand, or as a ray of sunlight…pervasive statement of truth, and as a document of feminine virility.
A playful yet seriousness cloaks this expression, as its strength and beauty disarms us, welcomes us, chides us, and makes us her friend.
Ageless and timeless, as she makes her appearance in desperate times, giving solace and comfort, while evoking an order to do something…be something, be someone.
A patient urgency, a humble nobleness, a carefree guide and gift, from mother earth herself.
Dramatically Defiant is who and what we must become.
