Murals

After years of painting Buddhas I had a vision of scaling them up and painting them on the sides of buildings.
In 2014, my friend Dawn Feinberg in Miami found me an epic 100ft long wall in the heart of the Wynwood District. After finishing the mural, I signed it with my newly created @10000buddhas instagram handle. Everyday I began to see photos of people posing, doing yoga, meditating with my Buddha mural. It was an amazing feeling, and lit my passion for making street art.

In following years I would create many large scale public murals across the country including  Los Angeles, Miami, Seattle, San Diego, West Palm Beach, Asheville, North Carolina, Washington D.C.. It has been a honor to create murals for Spirit Rock Center in California, for the Dallas Asian Art Museum and The Waldorf Astoria in Palm Springs. I have also painted several international murals in Panama, Costa Rica, Japan, and Germany.

“Art can transcend our human experience, so you don’t have to be a Buddhist to appreciate the imagery itself. It’s a subconscious thing — seeing peaceful beings sitting together, doing something uplifting.

It has a visceral effect on people. It makes them smile. It makes them happy.”

- Amanda Giacomini, from interview withLion’s Roar

 
 
This three story mural of Buddhas located at 1450 P Street NW in Washington DC is part of my larger project to paint Ten Thousand Buddhas all over the world. In this particular mural all the Buddhas are deliberately painted with different skin tones and in between each Buddha are smaller stencils with symbols for all the major religions. The message is one of inclusivity and religious tolerance. The image speaks to the idea that all of us have the potential to become Enlightened. When we practice kindness and compassion we can lift each other up and create a more peaceful and more conscious society. On the last day of painting this mural, three monks came from the Nitsan temple in New Jersey, they heard about the project and offered do a ceremony to bless the wall, to awaken the images of the Buddha so that everyone who sees the wall in person or in a photo or video that their suffering is relieved.
