About the artwork

In the hidden depths of the yellow-cap monastery of Tikse, high up in the majestic heights of the Indian Himalayas, sits the sublime Buddha statue of Maitreya, a silent witness to the ages and source of infinite wisdom. Her face radiates an aura of serenity and inner peace, while her mysterious eyes seem to gaze into the infinity of the universe.
The gentle contours of her face tell stories of bygone eras and convey a deep spiritual presence that touches the soul and uplifts the spirit. The fine lines that criss-cross her face are like paths to enlightenment, inviting the viewer to embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual renewal.
The Buddha statue's eyes reflect the essence of life - joy, suffering, hope and realisation. They are windows to the soul of the universe, revealing in their depths the secret of existence.
Surrounded by the majestic beauty of the Ladakh region and enveloped by the pure mountain air of the Himalayas, the Buddha statue of Maitreya radiates a timeless calm that captivates the viewer and reminds him that true fulfilment lies within - in the stillness of one's own mind and in compassion for all living beings.
In this sacred place, where the boundaries between heaven and earth are blurred, the Buddha statue of Maitreya is a living symbol of enlightenment and a signpost on the path to inner harmony and spiritual fulfilment.
