Biography

Li Yong-Min was born in 1975 in the Chinese province of Sangdong. He creates a new technique in the world of contemporary art, inspired by the Buddhist iconographic tradition of the mandala: he paints the canvas of the painting directly with sand collected in the desert. His subjects, Buddhas, adopt the posture of attestation to the earth, referring to the episode preceding the awakening when the future Buddha touches the earth with his hand, to take it as witness and thus repel Mara, lord of death and the sufferings of desire.
