Colorful Tibetan designs on wall and columns of temple, Jiuzhaigou National Scenic Area, Sichuan Province, China
Traditional Tibetan painting is called thangka. It is painting of a Buddha, Buddhist deity, or a mandala. Thangkas are framed in rich, colorful, silk brocades, but they are religious objects, not simply decorations. Traditionally, thangkas were created on commissions from religious devotees, and were not sold on the open market. Today, some thangka artists still work on commission. Less refined thangkas are produced in bulk for tourist markets

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and intricate Tibetan designs adorning the walls and columns of a temple in Jiuzhaigou National Scenic Area, located in Sichuan Province, China. These mesmerizing patterns are part of the traditional Tibetan painting known as thangka, which typically depicts Buddhas, Buddhist deities, or mandalas. Thangkas hold immense religious significance and are framed with opulent silk brocades; they transcend mere decoration to become sacred objects. Originally created on commissions from devout followers rather than for commercial purposes, thangkas continue to be produced by skilled artists who work on commission even today. However, mass-produced versions have also emerged to cater to tourist markets. The photograph captures not only the rich colors and ornate details of these exquisite designs but also highlights the fusion of architecture, artistry, and spirituality that characterizes Tibetan culture. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled within Jiuzhaigou National Park – renowned for its natural beauty – this temple stands as a testament to China's diverse cultural heritage. Gallo Images has masterfully captured this moment in time where tradition meets modernity through their lens. This image serves as a visual reminder of the profound artistic legacy left behind by generations past while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate the splendor of Chinese craftsmanship and architectural marvels found within this enchanting corner of East Asia.
