Romio Shrestha’s newest large-format collection of bold traditional paintings in the Tibetan tradition is a work of art unto itself. Like its forerunners, Celestial Gallery and
Goddesses of the Celestial Gallery,Buddhas of the Celestial Gallery is of the highest quality — hand-bound, printed on heavy paper, and an impressive two feet tall. Inside are
39 striking Tibetan-style mandala paintings of the Buddha, each rendered in vivid color and intricate detail by Shrestha and his team of artisan monks. Crafted from rare materials like
malachite, lapis, and marigolds, and so delicate as to be painted at times with three hairs from a cat’s tail, these contemporary interpretations of an age-old Tibetan art form are replete
with powerful details. Together with Deepak Chopra’s thoughtful text, these inspiring images offer fresh insight into an ancient spiritual tradition.
