Mudra of Stillness

Medium: Mixed media on textured canvas
Dimensions: Custom upon request
Description:
In this radiant work by Anand, a Banaras-based artist steeped in spiritual tradition, the serene figure of the Buddha emerges not just as a subject, but as a presence — calm, rooted, eternal. Rendered in soft strokes and burnished gold textures, the seated Buddha rests in dhyana mudra, a gesture of meditative clarity and inward balance.
The backdrop glows with earthy tones reminiscent of the golden twilight that falls over the ghats of Banaras — that moment when temple bells echo, the river breathes in stillness, and the soul feels suspended between the sacred and the tangible.
Anand, who grew up hearing morning chants drift through narrow lanes and watching sadhus lose themselves in silence by the Ganga, channels that sacred cadence into this painting. You can almost feel him pausing between brushstrokes — not to decide the next color, but to listen. To breathe. To let the spirit guide the form.
His choice of medium — layered textures with an antique glaze — speaks of Banaras itself: ancient, burnished by time, and yet deeply alive. The lotus at the base is not merely symbolic; it seems to rise from the canvas, as if pulled from the river’s own soul.
What You Bring Home:
This isn’t just a painting. It’s a prayer in pigment. A pause in motion. A fragment of Banaras itself, captured by a local artist who doesn’t paint to impress, but to remember — and remind.
Best Suited For:
Meditation spaces, sanctuaries, reading nooks, or any corner of your home where quietude deserves a throne.
