In the centre of the quiet room, the golden Buddha statue shines like a sunrise of pure consciousness. Its face, gentle and yet unfathomable, rests in the balance of compassion and realisation. The right hand touches the earth in the gesture of the bhumispara mudra - a sign of awakening when Gautama Buddha called the earth itself to witness his enlightenment. The golden robe, surrounded by light and shadow, seems to breathe, as if it harbours the warmth of thousands of years of meditation.
Behind the statue, the delicate, almost abstract face of awakening unfolds, painted in lines reminiscent of modern art. In the Kunsthalle, where minimalism and abstraction dominate, this figure forms a luminous centre of inner peace. Between the clear forms and cool surfaces of contemporary art, the Buddha appears like a silent, living symbol of timelessness - a dialogue between past and present, spirituality and aesthetics.
Wat Sitthawararam in Bangkok thus becomes a place of encounter: between tradition and modernity, stillness and expression, matter and spirit. Here, every gold particle seems to be a spark of enlightenment - and every glance at the Buddha an invitation to find one's own inner space of peace.
