About this Artwork: This abstract painting of Buddha, painted with golden highlights seem to glow from within.   His eyes are gently closed, a quiet smile playing upon his lips, radiating a sense of timeless peace.  Every brushstroke invites the viewer to wander beyond the painting to distant lands where spirituality, history, and natural beauty converge, inspiring a journey of both mind and the body.
