Illuminated Iconographic Tibetan Calligraphy

Title:
Laughing in the face of Pride

Acrylic, gold and silver leaf on heavy water-colour paper, 57x 76 cm, 2007

Golden yellow is the colour of riches of the earth and the adornment of the self.

The mood of this piece is pride, elaborate and princely. Pride converts to humility and respect as a wisdom.
