About Divine Gallery: Goddesses of Wisdom & Wealth

Every painting in this gallery begins with a hand-sketched design, followed by hours of meticulous gesso application. This traditional paste creates the signature 3D embossed effect on the jewelry and arches you see. We then carefully layer 22-carat gold leaf over these textures, giving the figures of Goddess Saraswathi and Lakshmi that soft, radiant glow which only gets better as time passes.
