Tibetan artist Anay Ngawang Chodak combines the meditative power of Buddhist art with contemporary imagery and sensibilities
Most artists believe their practice is a form of meditation as it forces them to be completely present, focused on the activity and mindful of its outcome. Tibetan artist Anay Ngawang Chodak's meditation is art. He refers to his paintings as spiritual offerings, calling their creation, "a way to share the essence of the teachings of Buddha beyond words, of embodying Buddhist philosophy instead of simply depicting it." His works were recently on display at Delhi's Arushi Arts, titled Oneness: Exploring Universal Values Chodak's first solo show in India. Through 21 paintings completed over a period of nearly 10 years, one is witness to the different stages of his artistic journey.
