An Artist at the Media Studio

The monks have been honored to be visited by Pieter Veltevrede, an extraordinary artist from the Netherlands. He is here at the monastery for about 3 days and had two morning meetings with the Ganapati Kulam.

Pieter is sketching Kadavul Nataraja for a future painting

He says he will work to complete Siva for approximately one month, twelve to fourteen hours a day, while sitting on the floor. \"The ego goes when one is sitting on the floor, no ego.\" Pieter does not sign his work either as he says \"I do not do the paintings, there is no ego during the painting, so why would I sign?\"
