Take this hand-painted cotton wall hanging in your hand and you can immediately feel the living, slightly uneven character of the surface: there are no two identical hand-painted pieces in the world. With the meditative Buddha figure placed at its centre and the colours of the seven chakras subtly present, this piece can offer a very special focal point to a room.
Buddha and the chakras
The meditative Buddha figure is one of the most widely recognised symbols of conscious presence, stillness and inward turning. The seven chakras, according to meditation tradition, describe the centres of the human energy system — the crown, third-eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root chakras. Together the two symbolic systems form a very complete, harmonious image: around the inward-looking figure the full colour spectrum appears.
The character of hand painting
Because the piece is hand-painted, every example is unique. Small differences appear in the line work, in the tones of the colours and in the fine shades of detail from one piece to another — this is one of the most beautiful qualities of hand-painted work. Compared to a printed piece, the hand-painted cotton surface feels more alive, and natural light brings out the beauty of the uneven brushstrokes.
Where it fits
In a bedroom above the bed, on the main wall of a yoga or meditation room, in a living room above a sofa, or in an inspiring office corner — anywhere a calm focal point would be welcome. The 78 × 112 cm size offers a good proportion for a medium wall, where it can stand on its own without a frame.
