Hindu art is a mixture of religion, history, and aesthetic tradition. Both the religion and its artistic values have remained intertwined and relatively unchanged for nearly fifteen hundred years. Yet during that time, Hindu artist have honed their methodology for iconography, sculpture, architecture, and symbolism. Though their fundamental approach to creativity differs greatly from western artist, it’s clear they draw upon the same artistic principles. Using the principles of proportion, symmetry, and symbolism, they aspire to find divinity in the art itself. These principles are successful anywhere because they are innately appealing. The universal principles of design serve as a sort of universal language, making it possible to spread ideas and communicate through them; even halfway around the world.
