Buddha painting on canvas 41

Nature and the divine unite harmoniously in traditional and modern representations of spiritual awakening in the East. This sacred union is beautifully celebrated in the luminous painting entitled “Buddha Painting 41” which stages the symbiosis between man and flora. The choice of solar and vegetal hues reinforces the message of universal peace and inner growth conveyed by the painting. This radiant work breathes a positive and soothing energy into any space.

The frontal portrait of a Buddha with a golden and infinitely serene face occupies the perfect center of a composition dominated by yellow and green. Directly behind his sacred head, a vertical superposition of large emerald green lotus leaves forms a highly protective natural plant column of remarkable beauty. The luminous background is a warm bath of yellow-orange light where the detailed silhouettes of several other lotus flowers are softly drawn in transparency. Two highly delicate pink lotus flower buds rise very elegantly in the immediate foreground on either side of the deity’s face, completing this peaceful composition.

The work of transparences and yellow glazes is of great fineness, giving the canvas an almost supernatural internal luminosity. The texture of the green lotus leaves is represented with striking realism that contrasts with the dreamlike character of the background. It is a brilliant demonstration of pictorial talent.
