Acrylic paint on canvas 120 x 90 cm
This portrait of Buddha exudes a profound sense of gravitas, as if recreating the majestic presence of a stone Buddha statue that has endured a long history, right on canvas. Its greatest highlights are the dramatic three-dimensionality that emerges from the pitch-black darkness illuminated by light, and the meticulously crafted texture down to the smallest detail. The subtle gold hues, like gold leaf, remaining on the forehead and cheeks, add a definite sense of dignity to the serene atmosphere. The deeply compassionate expression is striking, as if gazing upon it cleanses the soul. It perfectly complements not only sophisticated modern Asian-style rooms, but also serves as an iconic accent in contemporary and minimalist spaces, and harmonizes beautifully with walls in spas, salons, studies, and other spaces seeking ultimate relaxation and elegance.
