In the tradition ofCelestial Gallery and Goddesses of the Celestial Gallery,Romio Shresthas latest art book gathers striking Tibetan-style mandala paintings featuring the Buddha. These hauntingly powerful paintings depict the life of the deity in eloquent detail and render postmodern interpretations of an age-old Tibetan artistic tradition in which images are painstakingly created using malachite, lapis, and marigolds, and painted at times with three hairs of a cats tail. These exquisite portrayals of the celestial spheres, known as mandalas, invite viewers to meditate on the Buddhas message of love, completion, and connectedness. Also available in a lavishly illustrated oversize edition.
