Black Buck

The black buck is the ‘vehicle’ of Chandra, the moon, and is a symbol of purity and peace.

The agility of the animal has been captured through the smooth, sensual lines about its head and torso, while the restless nature of the black buck is set in the wave-like contours of the antlers.

The black buck’s head is gently turned to the side and its gaze is caught by the moon in the upper left section of the work.

The colour palette used in the illustration comprises calming tones, and parallels the tranquility felt by the black buck in the presence of Chandra
