ASURA 

Yoko d'Holbachie paints ASURA, a vibrant and otherworldly figure. Her paintings blend surrealism, pop art, and a touch of the grotesque, creating a unique visual language. D’Holbachie draws from a wide range of cultural and historical references. The painting's title, referring to a race of deities in Hinduism and Buddhism, suggests themes of power, conflict, and transformation. Are we looking at an innocent alien or a harbinger of destruction? The creature's multiple eyes are both captivating and unnerving. Her work invites us to confront the monstrous aspects of the self and society. While the artwork presents a fantastical creature, it also subtly references the real-world dynamics of gender and identity. D’Holbachie's world offers a space to reimagine these constructions and reflect on our shared human experience.
