 Ravi’s Sitar

(2) 14”x36”x1.5” Diptych on Cradled Panel

Pigmented Porcelain Clay Slip Paint, Graphite, Acrylic 


It’s a rare honor to inspire another artist!

Here is the translated poem written by ©Dirk Englage.

Original follows translated version.

Here I am

and i play sitar.

my heart goes

through fingers,

strings, wooden case

on the way.

find it

through your ears

access to your heart,

let it sing 

that to cry,

muse,

or cheer,

quite possibly?

just air

between us

but carrier

of my heart

on the way

to you?


Dirk Engelage

Hier zit ik

en ik speel sitar.

Mijn hart gaat

via vingers,

snaren, houten kast

op weg.

Vindt het

via jouw oren

toegang tot je hart,

laat het dat zingen,

huilen,

mijmeren,

of juichen,

heel misschien?

Alleen maar lucht

tussen ons in

maar draagster

van mijn hart

op weg

naar jou?
