Words are hurdles when silence sings volumes in the artworks in this Show “Aura of Silence”. Holding the leading and enriching hand of Buddhist teachings and way of life, this artist has transformed his art practice and life into a personification of the Buddhist way of life. Silence becomes the primary factor in all artworks, as does the deep rooted understanding of life and its truths. The works become relevant as they focus upon the kaleidoscopic essence of the teachings of Buddha. The symbolism and also the depiction of a spiritual aura which emanates from the works, addressing the inner spirit of all of humanity, bring to the viewer the very core of the philosophy.
