Buddha has always been my inspiration. The calmness and serenity he exudes is so alluring to me. The lotus buds signify peace and beauty in this painting, confides Indian artist Tanisha. She paints with acrylics, expertly detailing Buddha in purple. In India he is also known as Trigya, meaning omniscient, seer or deity. Subtle wavy patterns underscore the painting, creating a mystical effect suggestive of Lord Buddha’s presence in many realms of life.
