The reclining Buddha. Not in a posture of rest, but in the ending of movement.

The body stretches along the surface of the painting, not upward, not outward.
Only toward settling.

The eyes are closed. Not to turn inward, but to close a cycle.

The robe forms a rhythm. Time becomes visible. Weight is held.

There is no landscape. There is no sacred moment. Only presence, slow and complete.

This is not an image of faith. This is an image of composure.

Peace does not appear. It was already there.

We are here to answer your questions and help guide you. To request a price for a particular private sale, please contact information can be found below, we will follow up with you shortly.

He was brought up in a wonderful atmosphere of painters and intellectuals (often of Vietnamese origin), and this only helped to cement the ideals and traditions of family, close friends and kinships.
