Oil Varnished Shakyamuni Buddha Mandala :
Buddha Shakyamuni appeared in this world to purify all beings by having them open the treasure of Buddha's Wisdom, which they are unaware of possessing within themselves. His followers are known as Buddhists. The tradition of Buddhism is to mean an enlightened being, one who has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and achieved freedom from suffering.
A mandala is a tool for meditation or a contemplative object used to illustrate various aspects of Buddha’s teachings, meditative instruction, or the cosmological representation of the pure microcosm (pure mandala) of the deity.
The Mandala represents a symbolic Geometric Diagram in Tantric Buddhism, which visualizes the metaphysical interconnection between microcosm and the universe. Mandalas embodies a vast store of Spiritual Energy.
OIL VARNISH
Varnish is a final layer applied to a painting after it is finished and completely dry.
It’s used on paintings that are not going to be framed under glass to protect them from dirt, dust, and pollution in the environment.
Varnish also homogenizes (evens out) the final appearance of a painting, making it all equally glossy or matte.
Benefits of Oil Varnish
Varnishing oil paintings in the right way helps protect and ensure the aesthetics of these pieces of art.
More specifically, varnish keeps your artwork away from dust and dirt.
It likewise evens out its final look, making it matt, gloss, or satin.
Over time, dust and dirt will not stick to the painting but the varnish.
Handling And Hanging
It’s best to avoid leaning varnished paintings together, as they may stick.
If you use bubble wrap around your varnished painting or pick it up with your fingers touching the varnish, impressions may show in the varnish.
Avoid hanging pictures in bathrooms or kitchens, or above radiators or open fires, as they will get dirty very quickly.
