Amoghasiddhi Buddha by Lok Chitrakar

Size

This work by celebrated artist Lok Chitrakar is of Amoghasiddhi, who embodies the wisdom of all accomplished activity. Meditation on Amoghasiddhi vanquishes envy and jealousy and his consort is the Green Tara. This stunning painting is one in a series of the Five Dhyani, or Wisdom, Buddhas. The Five Dhanyi Buddhas each represents a different aspect of enlightened consciousness to aid in spiritual transformation. This work displays Chitrakar’s mastery of the 13th - 16th century Newar Design style through its precise lines and traditional iconography.

This original thangka, or paubha in Nepal, is painted in the traditional manner with ground mineral pigments on primed cotton canvas. The gold detail, such as the designs on the Buddha's clothing, are painted painstakingly with 24 carat gold. This series of paintings took many months to compose, sketch and complete.

The original painting is not for sale, so Mahakala Fine Arts has produced a Collector's Edition print so that you can collect this museum quality work of art. This print is limited to a series of 100. They are printed on thick archival paper in the same quality used by top museums worldwide.
