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.

Spirit Element: Space
£ 95.00 – £ 990.00 BUYSpace belongs to a series of 5 paintings in art-ma’s Elements collection, each relating to one of the classical elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Space. This collection created by Ovidiu Kloska, is a compilation of abstract paintings, featuring heavy textures in rich colours, resulting in contemporary artwork that is both fascinating and dramatic.
The Space element is the subtlest of all the elements. It can not be identified by our senses. It can only be felt by our soul. Although the elements are significant across many cultures, in the Upanishad, an ancient scripture from Hinduism, it refers to the elements being used for spiritual growth.
“From Atman (your inner self) did space come into being;
from space, air; from air, fire;
from fire, the waters; from the waters, the earth;
from the earth, plants; from plants, food;
and from food, man…”
– Taittirīya UpaniṣhadIn this painting the big brush strokes of Acrylic in shades of inky dark blue and chalky white sweep across the canvas, creating a beautiful piece of artwork in Kloska’s series of the five elements.

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.

Christ Rising
£ 200.00 – £ 525.00 BUYThe Resurrection of Christ, celebrated as Easter, is one of the chief doctrines of Christianity. It is a belief that on the third day after his Crucifixion, Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. Followers believe that as death no longer had “any mastery over Him” it gave them a chance to be spiritually resurrected with Him and live a life devoid of sin to achieve eternal salvation.
“Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
– John 11:25-26
Artist Jon Tomassetti recreated this blessed event in his serene artwork commissioned by Art-ma on the occasion of Easter.
