This work depicts Tibetan pilgrims on a spiritual pilgrimage to Mount Kailash, one of four holy mountains in Tibetan Buddhism. The trek is unbelievably difficult, with extreme weather and terrain, but these exhausted women and children still emanated tranquility and devotion. I focused on the juxtaposition of icy mist, in purples and greys, with the vibrant reds and turquoises of the traditional Tibetan garments. I painted the "chi" of that moment- the bright versus the muted. Oil on linen.
