Located in Austin, TX
Marlene Rose’s “Buddha’s Head” is a harmonious fusion of ancient wisdom and contemporary craftsmanship. The artist’s mastery lies in her ability to distill profound spirituality into tangible form. The sculpture portrays Buddha’s visage—a timeless symbol of enlightenment and compassion. The closed eyes evoke meditation, inviting viewers to explore their own inner landscapes. The serene expression transcends time, whispering secrets of inner tranquility. The sand cast technique lends an organic texture to the sculpture. Each grain seems to hold whispers of ancient mantras, echoing across centuries. The pinkish hue, reminiscent of dawn’s first light, bathes the head in a gentle glow.
