Depicted inside a crimson triangle, Buddha is thoughtful. Yothin Narasak selects a palette of warm tones for this reverent painting. My goal is to make people feel peaceful and happy, he confides. Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist nation, filled with breathtaking ancient temples, pagodas and other architectural wonders constructed to worship Buddha. In Thailand images of Buddha play an important role beyond mere decoration. They are traditionally placed within the home in special locations, such as shrines or pedestals, to help facilitate everyday religious worship.
