Autumn Buddha – At Rest
Inspired by the story of Buddha finding enlightenment whilst meditating underneath a sacred bodhi tree without moving for seven weeks. This piece, the fourth and final in the collection of 4 representing the four seasons of Buddha, the Autumn themed artwork of Buddha shows the natural beauty of gold and purple leaves surrounding Buddha’s peaceful meditation. The falling leaves are a symbol of the temporariness of all things and signal a change in season.

Timeless Buddha
£ 125.00 – £ 600.00 BUYThis 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.

Rod of Asclepius
£ 90.00 – £ 400.00 BUYThe Rod of Asclepius is the most prominent symbol of healthcare, healing and medicine in the modern world. Its origins, however, can be traced back to Greek mythology and represents the medical prowess of the demi-God Asclepius, who was known for his healing powers.
The Rod of Asclepius includes two elements. The staff, which is a symbol of authority and a serpent coiled around it. According to Greek mythology, Asclepius got his medical knowledge through whispering snakes, who have the ability to shed their skin and emerge healthier than before. They, therefore, represent rebirth and rejuvenation.
Artist Ovidiu Kloska marries these two worlds to create his visually stunning interpretation of this symbol that was commissioned by Art-ma.

Holi
£ 95.00 – £ 425.00 BUYHoli is also a great equaliser, as it unites people from all walks of life, across generations, to celebrate the good that resides in all of humanity.
Italian artist Patrizio Landolfi’s artwork ‘The Colours of Holi’ celebrates this aspect of the festival. There is a whirlwind of different colours—red, yellow, green, blue, and orange—that converge into this white cloud at the centre of the artwork. The white represents peace and harmony, which are felt so intensely during Holi celebrations. The colours merge into each other seamlessly, they do not clash. And they eventually become one.
This artwork signifies how important the message behind Holi is to maintain balance in the world. Like the different colours, humanity is also filled with people from different backgrounds. But instead of competing and clashing with each other, which has become frequent nowadays across the world, Holi teaches us to embrace each other’s differences more. Only when this happens will the world find peace.
This vibrant Holi artwork will brighten up your home or work space instantly. And what’s more, the piece promotes positivity, which will radiate all around the space it occupies. So look no further, this is the artwork that will bring those good vibrations back into your life.
