buddha art

This piece is based on the famous story of Buddha finding enlightenment underneath a tree. This is part of a series of paintings completed for art-ma by Karun Soni, with both close ups and wider portrayals of the same scene- across various seasons.

He painted this after practicing meditation and learning more about the science behind spirituality, with many principles of original Buddhist meditation benefits still holding up in today’s studies of neuroplastocity and mindfulness.

The biggest part of this is losing the sense of “self” and observing all humans and everything around us as one- which is depicted in each piece of the series through maintaining the same colour palette for Buddha and the nature around him.
