SPOCK

A Noble Fascination

In 1966, Gene Roddenberry presented a ground-breaking show called Star Trek™ to the world. The show was heavy on philosophy, promoting the concept that we human beings could rise to our higher natures and be truly noble forces for good. Through the show, Gene Roddenberry sought to eliminate barriers between people of differing races, cultures, and belief systems, having very real effect upon his own present day society and beyond.

Drawn in by this philosophy, Kavita has been a life-long Trekkie with particular focus upon the original series (Star Trek™ TOS), and even more specifically upon the character of Spock.

“If we are fortunate, we encounter a mirror of the noblest parts of ourselves. For me, this is Spock, and to no lesser degree, Leonard Nimoy.” ~ Kavita Maharaj

This lifetime of interest in Star Trek™, and Spock specifically, led Kavita to this expanding series of paintings, starting in January, 2017. Through the series, Kavita simultaneously explores Leonard Nimoy’s most beloved character, Spock, the idea of nobility, ‘self’ and stoicism. The pieces are a labour of love and part of a deep and ongoing conversation about what it means to be noble and yet human in the world. They are, in essence, an exploration of the noble ‘Self’.

Kavita’s Spock Paintings and Prints are now officially licensed by CBS and have become Star Trek™ Collector Items. All Archival Prints are Limited Editions and are offered for sale in two sizes (8”x24” and 12”x36”). The original works, on canvass, are themselves 12”x36”.

It is Kavita’s personal wish that these pieces continue to bring joy wherever they are displayed around the globe. With this in mind, she would love to receive photos of them wherever they come to reside. To submit photos of the pieces in their new homes, please Contact Us.
