Shima Shanti
I Gently Weep

About the Item

"I Gently Weep" is an original encaustic painting by San Diego Artist, Shima Shanti. This painting is inspired by the meeting place of land and sea where earth and water merge; the fleeting moment between time and space where one gives way to the other. Shima is an encaustic painter working in the ancient art form of painting with molten beeswax and fusing with fire. Up to 50 layers of molten beeswax mixed with earth pigments are painted on Russian Baltic birch panel then each layer is fused with the flame of a torch. Shima's choice of all natural earth elements combined with her minimal aesthetic create patina and texture that is storied, translucent and luminous. In this simplicity unexpected levels of complexity surface. Shima's inspiration is borne from growing up in the endless abundance of water and big sky of Montana. This connection to nature has gifted her with an innate sense of color and composition. The unique beauty of the encaustic artform are bubbles, ripples and markings on the smooth-texture, high-gloss surface. Beeswax is one of nature's best preservatives impervious to moisture, UV light and will not darken or fade over time.

Artworks are in private collections all over the world: USA, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands, France, Spain, South Africa, Egypt, Australia, Japan, Singapore. The main focus of my painting is underwater world. I draw my inspiration during scuba diving. Underwater I have learnt not only about the many life-forms, but the shapes and colors of everything in that realm continue to blow my mind. I feel like I am in another dimension. I am an artist one of the new pioneers in the growing field of underwater painting and Andre Laban follower. I developed my own special course of underwater painting and approved it in PADI. By teaching people scuba diving and underwater painting I open a new world of inspiration, artistry and creativity. I help people to experience artistic way to live. Scuba Divers witness the changes happening in the ocean – and can be among the first to raise the awareness of others to these growing problems. Nowadays most scuba divers have underwater cameras, to record the treasures and tragedies happening underwater – in this case evidence of the destruction of marine life. Art too, is a very effective tool and medium to communicate these messages. My art is my language. I would like to make people more human, more spiritual, to find their soul, love and kindness through the reunion with nature. So I am very happy to have opportunity to attract people by my art to the nature, in diver to find an art person and show a new reality – underwater world to art person. I believe that with my paintings more people will fall in love with the world of the sea, and become involved in the protection of our oceans for future generations to enjoy and wonder at. That is what I wish to come of these works and this experience in my life. That is what I wish to come of these works and this experience in my life.
