Product Details
The Dalai Lama has been in exile since 1959 and has spent every year since being one of the most joyful people on earth — the laughter, the warmth, the refusal to let political dispossession extinguish the spirit. This painting tries to hold that paradox: the teal ground glows, the brushwork is open and unguarded, a face that has earned its serenity through something much harder than peace. Compassion in Color — because that's the message, and this portrait carries it.
The Dalai Lama: Compassion in Color is an original hand-painted Dalai Lama oil and acrylic painting on canvas — expressive brushwork in my distinctive graffiti-art-influenced style. Painted to your size by Richard Day.

Richard's bold, high-contrast style works particularly well as a statement piece — above a sofa, in a hallway, or as the focal point of a room. If you're unsure about sizing or placement, drop us a message and we'll help.
