Frida

I named this painting 'Frida' and it is part of my ‘Buddha impression series’. I did not have the intention to create a Frida Kahlo portrait ... she just appeared. I believe Buddha images are about the message, and they are not necessarily feminine or masculine. To me my Buddha paintings portray a message, a way of life. I have been attracted by the teachings Buddha for many years and when I was going through a very stressful situation in my life in 2019 I felt an urge to paint Buddha images. It totally helped me to relax and let go of my worries. I hope that this painting emanates that energy of calm to the viewer.
