This painting shows a serene Buddha, seated in a posture of deep contemplation, holding two delicate water lilies. The image exudes a sense of calm and peaceful reflection. The water lilies, a symbol of purity and enlightenment, are harmoniously placed and suggest a deep connection between nature and spiritual awakening. The droplets sliding off the sculpture add an element of transience, a reminder of the transience of life.
My inspiration for this work came from a personal search for inner peace and the beauty of simple moments. Combining the Buddha with the water lily strikes a balance between human reflection and natural beauty. The blurred, dreamy background gives the feeling that this scene takes place in a space outside time, perhaps in a dream or another dimension.
The overall mood of the painting is one of calm and introspection. By using soft colours and subtle brushstrokes, I wanted to create an atmosphere of quiet contemplation. The artwork serves as an invitation for the viewer to take a moment to rest, reflect and connect with the deepest part of themselves.
