A giant panda gazes outward with quiet wisdom. Behind this serene creature, the world erupts in a jubilant explosion of colour: dissolving the boundaries between reality and dream. The panda remains an island of calm, untouched by the surrounding chaos, embodying the essence of zen; peace found within the storm. This piece plays with duality: the grounded realism of nature against the boundless freedom of abstraction, tradition meeting modernity, stillness dancing with motion. It invites the viewer to consider balanc, how we, like the panda, can exist harmoniously amid life’s vibrant, ever-shifting chaos. The title, "Zen in Technicolor," honours this fusion, where meditative calm collides with the euphoria of unbridled colour. 20"x16" acrylic on canvas
