About the artwork

The picture shows an impressive Buddha statue in a meditative pose, embedded in a harmonious combination of nature and urban background. The statue sits in the classic lotus posture, with his hands in the dhyana mudra - a gesture of meditation and inner concentration. The Buddha's facial expression is peaceful and characterised by quiet wisdom, his closed eyes and slight smile convey deep calm and serenity.

The greenish patina of the statue and the natural signs of age and weathering, such as fine cracks and moss-covered areas, lend it a timeless aura. Rocks with moss-covered surfaces rise up in the background, indicating a natural environment, but at the same time modern building facades are visible. These contrasts between nature and urban structure create an exciting field of tension that emphasises the spiritual presence of the Buddha even more.

The lighting mood is soft and warm, with a gentle interplay of light and shadow that emphasises the peaceful atmosphere of the picture. The plants in the foreground and the surrounding greenery provide an invigorating freshness and symbolise growth and the connection between body, mind and nature. Overall, the painting radiates a deep spiritual calm and invites reflection, mindfulness and inner contemplation.
