A coming together of the aesthetics of sculpture and painting is seen in this oil on canvas by Anup Gomay, representing the sublimity of Buddha. Buddha’s lotus eyes, sharp nose, and perfect lips are ideally presented to signify his greatness through these physical markers. The addition of lines mirroring cracks in stone adds to the antiquated appearance of wall engravings of ancient Buddhist viharas, where the enlightened persona of Buddha remains frozen in stone. With the addition of the petals on Buddha’s smiling face, this oil painting becomes a spiritual experience.
