CHANDRA LACOMBE

The Soulful Symbolism
of Mantras

Illustration series of the album "Jaya" and its singles for Chandra Lacombe, one of the greatest exponents of devotional music in Brazil.

Each cover seeks to translate the formal and, at the same time, intangible essence of the mantras, whose origin is full of symbolism of avatars such as Shiva, Ganesha, Buddha, and Mahavatar Babaji. The illustrations reflect the dialogue between culture and spirituality in the East and West, an essential pursuit of the artist whose hybrid musicality expands the boundaries of musical genres.

In my heart, I feel ‘Jaya’ is an album that is capable to translate my own devotional relationship with the aspects of my spiritual path. It’s time for us to understand that all religions point to the same core truth. Which is consciousness. Which is truth. That is the victory that we are celebrating with this album. The oneness. The unity.
