Prayer Flags at the Stupa

Inspired by a journey to Nepal, Prayer Flags at the Stupa captures the essence of movement, spirituality, and vibrant energy. John Richard Hewitt translates the fluttering prayer flags encircling a sacred stupa into a dynamic composition of color, texture, and rhythm.

The interplay of bold reds, blues, greens, and yellows reflects the traditional hues of Tibetan prayer flags, each carrying blessings on the wind. Expressive brushstrokes and intersecting lines evoke both structure and spontaneity, mirroring the layered prayers and wishes sent into the sky. The raw canvas background lends an organic, almost weathered authenticity, grounding the composition in tradition while allowing the colours to shine.
