Boddhisatva by Mukti Singh Thapa (Original Only)

Size

This lovely painting by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of a Boddhisatva teaching his followers. Mukti painted this work in the late 1980s or early 90s. It is not dated or signed, as is the custom when painting religious works. This is because the practitioner is worshipping the diety and the artist's signature is a distraction from that focus.  

As with all of the artist's work, it is painted in the traditional manner with mineral pigments on primed cotton canvas. The yellow Boddhisatva is painted with warm orpiment, while the blue background is painted with lapis lazuli.

The original thangka, or paubha in Nepal, painting, is available for the curious collector. If you are interested in this original artwork, please email Mahakala@MahakalaFineArts.com and we will share the price as well as more information about this unique piece.
