Lion of Fu
Lion of Fu
Lion of Fu or Lion of Budha

This lion-like creature worshiped as a Buddhist guardian and protector, also a symbol of success in new ventures, is guarding the entrance to the Palace of the Forbidden City and in countless temples and pagodas, from China, Japan, Tibet, India, Burma , they are practically found throughout Southeast Asia.

The tradition of a guardian lion is millenarian, these Lions of Fu or also called, Lions of Buddha, with a strange appearance a little terrifying, are powerful mythical animals that have their origin in the Buddhist tradition and that are quite widespread in the East, as Emblems of value and energy, indispensable complements of wisdom.

The pairs of Fu lions are usually found sexed, so in the couple that keeps the sacred entrance of an enclosure we differentiate the male's female because it holds an orb under its paw, while the female a calf. In fact, each one of them has different powers and attributes.
In the case of the male, the sphere under its claws, is composed of hexagons (six sides) like the flower of life and symbolizes knowledge. That is why he is known as the guardian of knowledge.

Due to the dimensions, this Work is delivered without a frame, wrapped in a cardboard tube. Upon receipt, you should take it to be placed on a wooden frame or directly frame it.

I have been painting for several years, although as a child I was passionate about drawing and painting, for a long time it was repressed. After a radical change in my life that took me to a 180 degree turn at age 40, I had to return from Europe, where I lived, and return to my hometown, Tanti, nestled in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina. This change connected me again with the roots, with my childhood and aroused again the desire to return to my old passion. Today I dedicate 100% of my time. Painting not only I like, Painting means for me a great tool that allows me to work aspects of myself. Each Work becomes a challenge with which I will inevitably come face to face. The work is not only directed to the Work, but it is with the Work that I am going to work many parts of me and that I will not necessarily like it. It is there where I can observe myself, where I find the emotional states through which I cross, in short I am the Work and painting is the tool with which I work. This is the reason why I like to PAINT, PAINT to find me.
