A serene lotus flower takes center stage in Satish Gupta's painting, its delicate petals unfolding gracefully amidst a backdrop of silver leaf that imbues the canvas with an ethereal and tranquil aura. Rooted in Buddhist philosophy, the lotus symbolizes enlightenment, as it transcends from the murky depths of mud, rises through the waters, and blossoms towards the heavens while remaining firmly anchored to the earth. As viewers gaze upon this masterpiece, they are drawn into a state of introspection, guided by the subtle presence of bodhisattvas subtly inscribed into the fabric of the painting. Gupta's meticulous attention to detail and profound spiritual symbolism invite contemplation and evoke a sense of inner peace and harmony within the observer.
