Original artwork description:

Piti is the Pali word for rapture. It can also be translated as ecstasy or bliss, and this term most often appears in relation to states accompanying meditation. Its appearance is quite commonly and mistakenly taken for the achievement of Nirvana (Pali Nibbana). Piti is present in the first two states of absorption (jhana) and although at an early stage it allows to free oneself of attachements to the pleasures of excitement, glitz and entertainment giving more subtle pleasure in return, it can be an obstacle in the further way, so it is necessary to abandon it . It should be remembered, that bliss, delight and ecstasy are to some extent as addictive as other impermanent pleasures, and Nirvana means freeing oneself from all attachments.

This artwork is painted on canvas stretched on wooden frame. I was using professional oil-colours with premium quality colour pigments that have high resistance to fading. Sides are continuously painted, so there is no need to frame. The picture is accompanied with a certificate of authenticity and ready for wall mounting.
