Buddha and Buddhism have had a profound historical and cultural impact, making them a captivating subject for artists throughout the ages. Whether you're a first-time art buyer or a seasoned collector, Buddha paintings offer a serene and spiritually enriching addition to any art collection.
Buddhism, founded by Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha), emerged in ancient India and quickly spread throughout Asia, becoming one of the world's major religions. The Buddha's teachings focused on compassion, mindfulness, and achieving enlightenment. Buddha's life and teachings hold immense historical and spiritual significance, attracting artists who aim to capture his wisdom, serenity, and the transformative power of his teachings through their art.
Artists are drawn to paint Buddha for various reasons. Firstly, Buddha's calm and serene presence serves as a visual representation of inner peace and enlightenment. By capturing his likeness, artists seek to convey a sense of tranquility and spiritual awakening to viewers. Secondly, Buddha's teachings and philosophy inspire artists to explore themes such as compassion, mindfulness, and the impermanence of life. The depth and universality of these concepts provide artists with rich material for artistic interpretation and expression.
In a fast-paced and often chaotic world, Buddha's image serves as a symbol of peace, tranquility, and inner balance. People are increasingly seeking art that not only enhances their living spaces aesthetically but also promotes a sense of calm and mindfulness. Buddha paintings offer a tangible connection to these qualities, making them highly sought-after by art enthusiasts and collectors.
With spread of Buddhisam, each region developed it’s own art forms of representing Buddha such as: Thangka Paintings (Tibet/Nepal), Gandhara Art (Pakistan/Afghanistan), Zen Ink Paintings (Japan), Burmese Mandalay Style Sculpture (Myanmar), Sukhothai and Ayutthaya Buddha (Thailand), Buddha Statues in Sri Lankan Art (Sri Lanka), Seokguram Grotto (South Korea), Khmer Art (Cambodia), Tibetan Butter Sculptures (Tibet) and Ajanta and Ellora Caves (India). Some of the most common Buddhist figures/bodhisattva’s along with Buddha in these art forms included - Guan Yin, Padmasambhava, Tara, Manjushri, Kuber or Vaishravan, Vajrapani, Maitreya, Amitayus/Amitabha, Vajrasattva, Mahapratisara and others.
Additionally, contemporary artists such as M.F. Husain (Theorama Series) have also created exceptional paintings featuring Buddha.
In Indian paintings, Gautam Buddha has always been depicted in a classic style, from Gandhara sculptures to the frescoes of Ajanta. He is portrayed seated among people, gazing at them with a meditative face in a graceful posture, half-closed eyes encompassed by locks of dark hair and a jeweled crown.
At our gallery, we offer a collection of Buddha paintings by renowned artists like Amit Bhar, Sangeeta Abhay, Vijit Pillai and Subrata Ghosh. These artists have carved a niche for themselves with their iconic abstract and contemporary Buddha portrait paintings. Their use of aesthetic colors, rustic textures, and abstract compositions in mediums like oil and acrylic creates a mesmerizing effect, making each painting a unique masterpiece.
In addition to our Buddha paintings collection, you can also explore our collection of spiritual paintings, including Lord Ganesha paintings, Shiva paintings, and Goddess Lakshmi paintings..

Hello there! It's lovely to see that you are exploing art. Please fill in these details to help us find the perfect piece of art for you.
Buddha paintings and buddha art prints are Buddhist religious images that depict the life, teachings of Gautama Buddha. They are usually painted on canvas, wood or paper and can be in any size.
The price of Buddha paintings varies depending on the artist, medium used, quality of workmanship and materials used. It also depends on whether you want a framed or unframed Buddha painting. The Limited Edition canvas prints on Artflute.com start at Rs 3,500 while original Buddha Paintings start from around Rs 20,000 and upwards. We provide Free shipping based on locations.
There are two main categories of Buddha paintings: Traditional and Contemporary. A traditional Buddha painting depicts the life story of Gautama Buddha, including his birth, enlightenment, teaching and death. These paintings often include scenes depicting the events in the life of Gautama Buddha such as his birth, enlightenment, parinibbana (the last day of his life) and nirvana. A contemporary Buddha painting may not show all these details but instead focus more on the message of Buddhism. For example, a contemporary Buddha painting might use the image of a monk or nun to represent the Buddha's teachings.
You can find different kinds of contemporary Buddha paintings, Buddha wall art, canvas prints etc. on Artflute.com.
Do look at works of artists such as Amit Bhar, Prakash Ghadge, Shalini Soni, Subrata Ghosh, Sangeeta Abhay and Nitu Chhajer.
It really depends on what kind of message you want your Buddha painting to convey. If you're looking for something with lots of detail, a traditional Buddha painting would probably be best. However, if you just want a more creative representation of the Buddha, then a contemporary one could be better.
