About the artwork

Within the sacred walls of Wat Benchamabophit, the marble temple, shines a golden Buddha in the classic Sukhothai style, embedded in the spiritual splendour of Bangkok, Thailand. This divine image embodies an unrivalled elegance that transports the viewer into a world of sublimity and inner peace.
The golden Buddha rises majestically against the backdrop of the noble marble architecture, enveloped in soft light. His contours radiate a timeless grace, while the golden hues on his face symbolise the wisdom and inner peace that are anchored in the heart of Buddhism.
The skilful depiction of the Sukhothai style gives the Buddha a unique aura that celebrates the harmonious union between spiritual enlightenment and aesthetic beauty. Every line, every arch tells the story of centuries of spiritual devotion and cultural sophistication fused in this sacred place.
The atmosphere at Wat Benchamabophit is imbued with a quiet devotion that invites visitors to look into the depths of their own souls. One lingers in front of this radiant Buddha image, surrounded by sacred silence, and feels the presence of the divine, which is revealed in the golden perfection of this masterpiece.
The beauty of Thailand is reflected in this oasis of calm and spiritual sublimity, captured in a golden Buddha of unrivalled splendour, revered as one of the most beautiful in all of Thailand.
