Illuminated Iconographic Tibetan Calligraphy

Title:
Opportunity

Acrylic paint on heavy water colour paper, 57x76cm 2007

The Tibetan Dru tsha calligraphy in this piece translates as ‘to seize the moment’.
These words depicted entangled with the stems and leaves of five different coloured lotus flowers. Each of these flowers represents the five wisdoms of the five Buddha families. Even the leaves themselves are hooked to grab as opportunists.
