Welcome!

My name is Florentine.

 

Here, I explore ways of making teachings and poetry of Classical Tantra come to life. I transform ancient verses into modern digital art and offer them to you as high-quality fine art and canvas prints so they may infuse your home, practice space or yoga studio with beauty and inspiration. In my blog, I share some of the source texts and my musings on various aspects of spiritual life. I'd be honored to have you join me!

​

Waking up to my true nature is what inspires me most in life.

​

I meditate, contemplate and infuse my daily life with the teachings of Classical Non-dual Shaiva Tantra. This Indian tradition with age-old lineages of transmission has provided guidance to many on their path of awakening. It is rich in classical Sanskrit texts that describe the awakening process and show practitioners a path so they may experience it for themselves.

​

These texts are the basis for the artwork presented here. 

​

I explore them in contemplation and practice, then read them to AI image generators and play with them until the result feels right: until the feeling I get from looking at the image is like the feeling I get when reading the text. I strive to bring to life texts that inspire me, to create images that transport the many layers of meanings that are present in the original Sanskrit, to create beauty.

​

I offer you these images out of love and the wish to share the joy and inspiration they bring.

​

May they bring beauty to your life and inspire you on your path.

May you be blessed, and may we all be free!
