Francesco Cerutti, Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu, mixed media, 18,5x12 cm

Unique work on small canvas by contemporary artist Francesco Cerutti made with tempera and metal leaves. His artistic journey has always been linked to a deep inner journey: the intent is to convey a sense of serenity in the viewer. The material surface of the canvas consists of pigments and metals that play with light, always creating different perceptions in the viewer of the work.

In this case they invoke a Hindu mantra, Om Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu, which means, "may all beings be happy, may all my thoughts, words and actions contribute to the happiness and peace of all human beings." The work is signed on the back.
