Framed Contemporary Buddha Art

This item is a framed contemporary artwork depicting Buddha figures. The piece is characterized by its vibrant, multi-colored background, which appears to be applied with a spray-paint or airbrush technique, creating a mottled, iridescent effect across the surface. Overlaid on this colorful ground are outlines of Buddha figures executed in a metallic gold or bronze color, suggesting an etched, embossed, or paint-on-glass style. One prominent Buddha figure is shown in a seated, meditative posture, likely the 'Bhumisparsha Mudra' (earth-touching gesture), with a distinct red halo or 'mandorla' behind its head. Its hair is depicted with tight, spiral curls, and its facial features are serene. To the right of the seated figure, a large, stylized Buddha head dominates the foreground, also outlined in gold with intricate spiral patterns for hair. This head displays strong, graphic lines for the eyes, nose, and mouth, with patches of contrasting colors. Several smaller, intricately detailed amulet-like shapes are visible at the bottom right, also outlined in gold. The artwork is housed in a simple, possibly wooden frame with a gold-colored finish, showing some visible wear and minor chipping on its edges, consistent with age and handling. The overall aesthetic combines traditional Buddhist iconography with modern artistic techniques and a bold color palette, lending it an eclectic and striking appearance. The artist's signature 'NIPAT' is clearly visible in green script at the bottom left of the central seated Buddha figure. The backing behind the art appears to be textured or patterned, perhaps a linen mat or a decorative paper. The condition overall appears good, with no obvious damage to the artwork itself, beyond the frame's wear. The style suggests a contemporary Asian origin, likely from Southeast Asia, possibly Thailand, given the 'Nipat' signature and the specific iconography.
