Buddha's Gaze

Acrylic on Canvas

2024

This artwork portrays a small human figure gazing up at an unfinished Buddha statue, highlighting the transcendent power of art and faith. The Buddha, standing out brightly in the midst of a decaying building, contrasts sharply with the surrounding neglect, symbolizing that despite the imperfections and struggles of reality, faith and art maintain an unshakable perfection and radiance. The person’s awe and gaze express humanity's reverence for this transcendent force, while also reflecting the modern search for spiritual support and ideals in a world full of challenges.
