As her work matured, Indian artist Ângela Trindade established her own style of painting, that came to be known as "Trindadism." Using the cultural and spiritual dimensions of the triangle demonstrated an approach to art which highlighted her individuality as an artist. After spending an entire life searching for a language more suited to her times which could also express the oneness of human and divine, Ângela found in the triangle the possibility of bringing together the cultural, artistic and religious influences from the East and West. Rooted in the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata, the story of Shakuntala was dramatized by many famous writers including Kalidasa. At the beginning of the epic Shakuntala is characterized as a nature’s child who has a deer as a pet. The deer gets wounded by the great king Dushyanta, who falls in love with Shakuntala and ends up marrying her. A widely depict epic scene, Trindade’s triangular composition of Shakuntala and the Deer uses a vibrant palette taking full advantage of the symbolic dimension of color to express ideas and emotions. Trindade immigrated to the United States in the 1960s and became a U.S. citizen in 1978 before passing away in 1980. She was famous for her Western-style portraits and religious paintings in the Indian style.Her unique painting style with Trindadism allowed her to establish individuality as an artist. Ângela was born in Bombay in 1909, to Goan parents Florentina Noronha and the renowned artist António Xavier Trindade. Like her father, Trindade enrolled in the Sir J.J. School of Art in Bombay and, during this period, became the first woman painter to be granted a fellowship by the same institution. The artist's western upbringing, liberal education and creative home environment made it easier for her to become one of the first women in India to take up painting as a profession.
