Parinya Nanjai extracts the essence of religious teachings to fill his paintings with a spiritual atmosphere. His stylizations evidence the influence of ancestral Lanna as he paints with acrylics on saa (mulberry) paper. The image of a temple with closed doors symbolizes the mind, closed to all external events while meditating. A bright flag sways to a soft breeze and the full moon guards the temple; the painting inspires serenity. Embellished with hemp and glass motifs, this painting features a calico mat and a pinewood frame.
