The unity of compassion and wisdom that achieves supreme wisdom is best manifested in the figure of Buddha, who lights the path of severing ties with worldly ailments and finding peace within. In this acrylic on canvas painting by Ranjit Sarkar, the artist pays obeisance to the cosmic tranquility of Buddha, employing the popular imagery of a serene Buddha head sculpture with calming tones of blue and green, and a fragrant spread of white lotuses.
The left half of the canvas is adorned with Buddhist prayer wheels as a reminder of the ceaseless chants of Buddha's name, which are the path to the pinnacle and depths of one's consciousness. On the right half is an expressive Buddha head- with meditative eyes, drooping earlobes, curls on the head, and an inward smile.
Contrasting to the layers of green and blue, the blooming lotuses symbolize the journey of enlightenment, which lets a human being rise above the murky waters of human existence. Enriched with such profundity, this is an artwork that will fill your space with sacred energy.
