Art: Compassionate Mother by Artist Tara Catalano
Kuan Yin is a Motherly Goddess in the philosophy of Buddhism. As the sublime Goddess of Mercy whose beauty, grace and compassion have come to represent the ideal of womanhood in the East, she is frequently portrayed as a slender woman in flowing white robes who carries in her left hand a white lotus, symbol of purity. Ornaments may adorn her form, symbolizing her attainment as a bodhisattva, or she may be pictured without them as a sign of her great virtue. Kuan Yin's presence is widespread through her images as the "bestower of children" which are found in homes and temples. She is often portrayed with a child in her arms, near her feet, or on her knees, or with several children about her. To Buddhists, she is the compassionate mother of all children!

This unique collage was made using a photos, a recycled earring, a red rhinestone, and acrylic paint. It is an original ACEO which is great for collecting trading or displaying.

Status: SOLD.
