Today as I attended the launch and was amazed by tons of paintings. One of the paintings that really strike me and feel like owning it is the painting below by Uuganbayar Kherlenchimeg, an artist from Mongolia. I was lucky to meet him in person at the gallery as he is leaving on the same day and had the chance to talk about the painting. I told him that I really like his paintings and what inspired him to paint this. He said he was inspired by the buddhism and Tara, the female buddha who has to change its mask according to the changing world. The goddess has to keep pace and not being old-fashioned which doesn't apply to the current universe. In fact, I feel it also reflects human being indeed which can be changed through time and circumstances. It's an inspiring piece of art to me.
Title: Changing Tara
More info: Tārā (Sanskrit: तारा, tārā) or Ārya Tārā, also known as Jetsun Dolma (rje btsun sgrol ma) in Tibetan, is a female Buddha typically associated with Buddhist tantra practice as preserved in Tibetan Buddhism. She is the "mother of liberation", and represents the virtues of success in work and achievements. Tārā is a tantric deity whose practice is used by practitioners of the Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism to develop certain inner qualities and understand outer, inner and secret teachings about compassion and emptiness.
