A sense of serenity and inner peace radiates from this remarkable portrait of Buddha. Depicted in deep shades of green, the master appears completely tranquil. Yothin Narasak paints on a tall, triangular canvas. Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist nation, filled with breathtaking ancient temples, pagodas and other architectural wonders constructed to worship Buddha. In Thailand images of Buddha play an important role beyond mere decoration. They are traditionally placed within the home in special locations, such as shrines or pedestals, to help facilitate everyday religious worship.
