Original artwork description:

Tibet is a unique historical land, where the spiritual is deeply intertwined with reality, creating a powerful space for inner exploration — it is no wonder it is called the Roof of the World. Mountain space, monasteries, and ancient knowledge inspires contemplation and the path of spiritual development.
One of the key symbols reflecting this path is the sacred spiral. In philosophy, the spiral is the path from the ordinary to the higher, a reminder of the deep interconnections of all levels of existence.
This painting reveals the concept of the sacred spiral as a philosophical space. It leads the viewer from the portrait of a simple Tibetan woman, embodying the strength of real life, to the image of the goddess Tara, a sacred symbol of wisdom and compassion. In the composition, symbols of prayer flags, light, and color are interwoven, connecting with depictions of Drepung Monastery and Mount Kailash — a sacred place of pilgrims.
These elements are inseparably connected with the teachings of the Buddha and the spiritual development of a person. They remind us of the constant movement of time, inner growth, and finding balance between the physical and spiritual aspects of life.
The painting unfolds as a space of philosophy and transformation, giving everyone the opportunity to reflect on their own path and reminding that development always begins within us.
