The quiet grace of a Buddha image is manifest against a background of glowing colors. This beautiful statue sits in Thailand's Wat Phra Singh temple. Considered a supreme example of northern Thai art, the image is one of a rare series of lion style images. For Thotsapon, the image inspires faith, which he shares through this reverent painting. 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.
