Enlightenment (No.10)

The oil painting titled “Enlightenment” (No.10) by artist Nguyen Duc Lam is painted with very light colors, very thin lines that make the images appear blurred like an illusion. Images of lotus flowers – sacred symbols of Buddhism, images of Buddha’s compassion closing his eyes… all covered by a white, hazy, faint color of fog .

“Between Me and Ngo, one syllable three ticks

Between the Saints and the mortals, a short line

Look at that, bursting with a flower

You and I have cultivated since then.”
