Event Description : "The Buddha" a solo show of Paintings by M. Lokeswara Rao IFS.

The constant searching of self in the characteristics of each painting inspired the artist in me
to paint series of paintings in the present show “ the Buddha ” the displaying 20 paintings 
of the show are some mere examples of his creative bliss with lot of interest, here ha has 
portrayed Lord Buddha. Every work has deep thought and meaning supported its visual 
description. All the paintings have been inspired by eight important symbols of Buddhism 
such as conch, lotus, unending knot, dharma chakra among others. I believe series of paintings will be a source of joy for those who possess them. Sometimes certain talents can 
never be taught. It’s an inborn trait some individuals are blessed with. The really creative 
person is not interested in dominating anybody. He is so utterly rejoicing in life — he wants 
to create, he wants to participate with God. Creativity is prayer. And whenever you create 
something, in those moments you are with God, you walk with God, you live in God. The 
more creative you are the more divine you are. To me, creativity is religion. Art is just the 
entrance to the temple of religion. I feel that when I do painting during my leisure time, it 
relieves my mental stress as I concentrate and deeply involving both body and mind. We live in age of non violence and immorality Buddha teachings are relevant today also. Mr Rao remembers the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru words ” We live in an age of confict and war, of hatred and violence, all over the world. Never before has the need been greater for all of us to remember that the immortal message Lord Buddha, the greatest and noblestof the sons of India.gave to us, and to you and to the all the world. That message of two thousand five hundread years ago is a living message today, enshrined in our hearts, and we draw inspiration from it to face the troubles and difficulties that threaten to overwhelm us”
