Motif
The intricately carved painting depicts a seated Buddha with the Vitarka mudra gesture.

Buddha as a spiritual figure embodies wisdom, enlightenment, peace, and inner balance. He symbolizes the path to overcoming suffering through meditation, morality, compassion, and a deep awareness of the true nature of existence.

Mudras are symbolic hand positions that have profound significance for conveying the spiritual messages and teachings of the Buddha. The joining of the thumb and index finger in a circle, while the other three fingers remain extended, is called Vitarka mudra. It is a gesture of intellectual discourse, education, and transmission of wisdom. The circle here represents the continuous flow of energy symbolizing the endless cycle of teaching and learning. The palm faces outwards, signifying openness and the act of communication.

Material
Suar wood comes from the Saman Samanea tree, also known as the Monkey Pod. The extraordinary elegance of this material lies in the beauty of its natural grain pattern and the texture of the wood. Each piece thus acquires original beautiful shades from very light to dark brown. Thanks to the exceptional character of suar, carvers can create enchanting works of art down to the smallest detail.

The Tradition of Balinese Woodcarving
Woodcarving is an ancient art form that reflects the distinctive style of talented Balinese artisans, and is a very popular souvenir from the  "Island of the Gods".
The art of Bali was and still is deeply rooted in the local religion. Hindu and Buddhist traditions first reached Java and then Bali about a thousand years ago, providing an important cultural foundation for Balinese society. Balinese culture has drawn inspiration from a variety of sources, including Chinese and Malay traditions. The combination of these influences has given rise to the Hindu-Javanese arts and crafts we know today.
The spiritual traditions of Bali are closely linked to artistic expression, serving as a means of expressing devotion and fulfilling obligations to the deities.
