Buddha is part of the Spirit Icon collection. The original work is 9x12 and done in acrylic and oil pastel. Metallic acrylics offer highlights on a striking blue background.

The Buddha is a symbol of enlightenment. The serene smile symbolizes the peaceful and calm nature of the Buddha. The foundational mantra I used for this painting are the Buddhas's last words: Be a lamp unto yourself. The lamp referred to by the Buddha is represented in the painting by the gold Unalome. This symbolizes each individual's transcendence and is about analyzing your actions and learning from them. The Unalome is our path in life.

This is a signed print inspired by my study of religious traditions, rituals, and symbols.
