Standing on a lotus and gazing down with solemnly poised hands, Avalokiteśvara appears in a variety of forms while conveying a state of purity, as mortal needs are responded to through compassionate characteristics of dharma.
This painting by Xia Jing Shan shows indigo hues with the use of ink and water, presenting Avalokiteśvara in an elegant white robe illustrated with simple, freehand brushstrokes. The large white space gives the painting an enhanced sense of serenity and depth, with an ambiance that is pure and unadulterated created.
