Artist

Alek Phan Trúc

Description

The most distinctive feature of this painting is the subtle color pattern of lotus in Buddhism. The white means to purity of the mind and spirit. The blue is wisdom and logic. The purple speaks of awakening.The lotus reminds of rising above all defilements and sufferings of life, “like a lotus flower that grows out of the mud and blossoms above the muddy water” according to the Buddhist teaching. And although the flowers look very much delicate, the petals stay substantial.
