Tashi Delek, by Stephanie Laine is a warm greeting in Tibetan language.
‘Tashi Delek is a painting from my 2022 series Citta. My intention for this series is to explore the interplay of mind and heart (thought and expression) in my creative process. As with many of the Arts, the development of technique and practice over many years forms a sound stage on which expression can dance, without inhibition.  My body and senses have developed a familiar relationship with my ‘tools of the trade’, the consistency of paint, the drag of the brush, the timing, there’s so much in the timing…. There’s an inner sense, or knowing, that evolves from practice that allows the mind to rest. If I can get out of my own way and trust in this relationship, then space opens for intuition to rise and guide the process. My hope for this series is that you can rest in the technique but more importantly, that you can feel the heart and creative expression, as this is where authentic connection and joy reside.’
Tashi Delek is painted on a stretched canvas with painted 3.8cm sides. It comes framed in a beautiful floating raw oak frame (custom made by Left Bank Art Group).
Please note all images are taken before lacquering (to reduce reflection). Paintings are then finished in two coats of a satin lacquer for protection and longevity.
- Important – Tashi Delek is now available for purchase but will be on display at the ‘Less is More’ Exhibition at the Art Lovers Australia Gallery in Collingwood VIC until October 22, 2022.Â
