..........In my solo exhibition “The Light of Faith”
I convey a message about seeking the truth of human existence
through my paintings. The series was inspired by Buddhist philosophy
and Lanna
Buddhist art, which is considered a magnificently anduniquely
beautiful school of art that orginated in nothern Thailand.
..........I would
like to present the truth of the fundamental Buddhist concept
that the ultimate human
endeavor is to try to escape from surrounding illusions. The
Lord Buddha sought the truth of human existence in the universe
and was finally able to gain a completeunderstanding of it,
seeing the way how to finally be free from all suffering. I
bring out various aspects of this religious truth via my paintings
in my series “The Light of Faith” The art pieces do not contain
many clear shapes or pictures. They mainly focus on candlelight,
which is the symbol of the human intellect. A flickering flame
is an uncertain shape,symbolizing the human mind, which keeps
constantly changing and is hard to control. Buddhism teaches
that people should try to gain control over our minds and achieve
mental stability in order to reach the light of intellectual
enlightenment. |
