The color magenta signifies a balance of feminine and masculine energy, as well as symbolizes the "sahasrara" or crown chakra. The female figure in the painting is in the yoga position known as “padmasana” or Lotus Pose. Symbolically, the growth of the lotus flower and its pure beauty from the mud of its origin represents a strong spiritual presence. The unfolding petals suggest the expansion of the spirit towards enlightenment. Lady Lotus then is seated on her rock (the male figure who is supporting her) as she attains enlightenment and shares it with him, while meditating the lotus mudra with her hands.
