Buddha painting on canvas 40A

The symbolism of the lotus and purification by water regularly inspires the most beautiful contemporary artistic creations from Asia. It is this universal and poetic theme that is staged in the magnificent painting entitled “Buddha Painting 40A” offered here. The composition invites reflection on peace of mind, spiritual renewal, and the clarity of meditative thought. This painting of great delicacy envelops the viewer in an aura of calm and freshness.

The serene face of a spiritual Buddha painted in soft, delicate tones of lavender and purple stands in the center of the canvas. From the upper part of his stylized headpiece flow fine, numerous vertical lines of white and silver paint, evoking a benevolent rain or elegant trickles of celestial light. At the base of the divine neck, a remarkably large, azure blue lotus flower blooms majestically and peacefully in the immediate foreground of the scene. The tranquil background represents calm, quiet water of deep ultramarine blue, which is beautifully dotted with several large, floating circular green lotus leaves in the pond.

The rendering of the vertical drips is of exceptional regularity and fineness, demonstrating perfect control over the viscosity of the material. The softness of the gradients on the purple face contrasts beautifully with the sharpness of the blue lotus flower. This work shows a great sensitivity in the technical execution.
