Illuminated Iconographic Tibetan Calligraphy

Title:
Opportunity

Acrylic paint on heavy water colour paper, 57x76cm 2007

The cursive Tibetan Dru-tsa calligraphy in this piece translates broadly as ‘to seize the moment’. 

These words are depicted entangled with the stems and leaves of five different coloured lotus bud flowers, the leaves are hooked to grab as opportunists.
Each of these flowers represents the five wisdoms of the five Buddha families in their relevant colours.
