In the tradition of Celestial Gallery and Goddesses of the Celestial Gallery, Romio Shrestha's latest large-format art book gathers striking Tibetan-style mandala paintings featuring the Buddha. Each book is hand-bound and two-feet tall, with artwork from master painter Romio Shrestha and his team of artisan monks, who render postmodern interpretations of an age-old Tibetan artistic tradition. Made from malachite, lapis, and marigolds, and painted at times with three hairs of a cat's tail, these paintings are produced in hauntingly powerful detail.
