About the artwork

This beautiful digital painting depicts a serene Buddha with an eye-catching lotus flower in the foreground. The Buddha, a symbol of peace and enlightenment, looks out calmly and peacefully over a softly tinted background, emphasising the timelessness and spiritual atmosphere of the painting. Here, the lotus flower, often used as a symbol of purity and rebirth, seems to offer a source of light and hope in Buddha's world.

In creating this work, I was inspired by the tranquillity and serenity that both the Buddha and the lotus represent in Buddhist culture. The idea of enlightenment and self-discovery is reflected in the details of the sculpture, with each brush stroke and colour choice deliberately made to evoke an atmosphere of introspection and peace. The digital medium allowed me to work with different layers and textures, resulting in a depth and dimension that enhance the sense of transcendence in the representation.

For me, this work is a reflection on the eternal search for inner peace and the role of beauty and nature in that journey. The combination of the Buddha and the lotus emphasises the idea of growth, transformation and reaching higher consciousness. It is my hope that viewers, like me, will find a sense of peace and inspiration in this image.
