Product Description
The golden leaves of a sacred pipal tree blossom under the spell of the full moon light. Painting with acrylics, Parinya Nanjai intends for Earth to be represented by the gray circle in the background. The pipal is a variety of fig that grows in India. Buddha achieved enlightenment while meditating beneath such a tree, which then became known as a bodhi, or enlightened tree. Some of these trees in Thailand are said to derive from cuttings of the original bodhi and are also known as bo. Nanjai frames his inspired composition with rubber tree wood.
