Artist Description
This painting captures a quiet yet powerful gesture of compassion — a weathered hand gently holding prayer beads, suspended between effort and surrender. The clenched fingers speak of endurance and lived experience, while the mala flowing through the hand becomes a symbol of continuity, devotion, and the unseen rhythm of prayer.
Rendered in deep reds and earthy skin tones, the composition evokes both intensity and warmth. The textured surface of the hand reflects time, discipline, and spiritual labour, while the beads introduce a meditative cadence — each one suggesting a wish, a blessing, a moment of inward offering.
Rather than portraying a face, the artwork centers on the universal language of touch: the act of blessing, seeking, and giving. The absence of identity allows the gesture to belong to everyone — monk or layperson, seeker or believer — transforming the hand into a symbol of collective humanity.
“Blessings For All” is a meditation on compassion in action. It honours the idea that spirituality is not only spoken or believed, but practiced — quietly, repeatedly, and without distinction.
