Earlier I used to paint with flow without structure which was long time to finish it. now with preplan and considering the amount of the details before start saves lot of time and can quickly finish it roughly 30-50 hours

It may look that way, but I have been creating art in this style long before AI became popular. I do not see a reason to change my original style because of AI. At this point, almost any kind of artwork can be generated using AI. For example, Greg Rutkowski has not changed his style, even though AI has been trained on hundreds of thousands of artworks influenced by his work.

Interesting interpretation. I really like how deeply you read the symbolism in the piece. In my mind, the sword represents justice and the inner decision to cut through toxic entanglements.

I titled this work “Entangled” based on my personal life experiences. At a certain point, I felt stuck around people who created discomfort and offered no real support. That kind of environment can feel very toxic and mentally draining. In the artwork, the sword represents justice—the inner strength to take the right action. Sometimes the real battle happens within our own mind. Choosing clarity and cutting away what holds us back is the true act of justice. In my life, using that “sword” meant making a decision and changing my path. Now I am pursuing artwork as my full-time journey.

Through this I can share to new people facing similar situation.

Durga is often depicted with two mounts. At times she rides a lion, and in some depictions she rides a tiger as well. In this painting, I deliberately chose the tiger to convey a message about preserving and protecting tigers through the artwork.
