A page a day to give you a big taster of what the Oriental Surrealism art book is all about. Let's start with the 'Armless Buddha'. -- To read about what Oriental Surrealism means, get to the online store: ▪ www.samuelhumphreys.bigcartel.com ▪ OR click-through to the link in my profile. -- ▪ Armless Buddha ▪ When we create images of god they become a representation of our lack of spiritual conviction. It’s when the image of something divine becomes the basis of a religion that the nature of the religion is lost. These misconceived images become something to hold on to, something that displays to others our disbelief in reality. Once we detach ourselves from conceptions and doctrines about the definitive images of religion we will come closer to what existence really is. Have faith in the voiding and destruction of idolised imagery rather than the definitive outline of an idol because it’s from that very void and destruction that everything arises. -- #OrientalSurrealism #artbook #zerodeforestation #recycledpaper #penandink #armlessbuddha #buddha #illustration #illustrator #linework #theorient #surrealism https://www.instagram.com/p/BxR4SckHTOd/?igshid=8sn8847kj64p
