Title
The Lotus Rises Out of Muddy Waters Untainted
Artist
Oiyee At Oystudio
Medium
Painting - Ink And Watercolour On Japanese Masa Paper
Description
This is inspired by the Chinese saying , "the lotus rises out of muddy waters untainted", (出淤泥而不染) which is the calligraphy on the painting.
Seeded in muddy water, the lotus manages to rise above it untainted, blooming beautifully, maintaining its utmost purity. Children raised in the most negative environment can also succeed against all odds while remaining true to themselves. People mired in this materialistic world can also rise above it and live a happy, pure and simple life.
