The tree of a thousand Buddhas

Photographer: ©
2014 – Ankhor, Cambodia
In the heart of the temples of Angkor, captured on a bend in the path, this image reveals the mystical encounter between nature and ancient art.A majestic cheese tree, with its imposing, twisting roots, delicately frames a bas-relief dating from the time of Jayavarman VII. The subdued natural light subtly illuminates the engraved stone, highlighting the fine details and the wear of time. The serene face of Buddha, still visible despite the passage of centuries, seems to emerge from the bark like a divine apparition. The roots of the cheese tree, like protective fingers, encircle the engraving, forming a natural casket that simultaneously protects and exalts it.This work captures not only the beauty of Khmer art, but also the inexorable power of nature, which over the centuries has integrated this sacred art into its very core. The contrast between the hardness of the stone and the organic softness of the roots creates a striking visual harmony, evoking spirituality and resilience.
The different types of frames and finishes available
The print comes with its certificate of authenticity and a Hahnemühle hologram affixed to the back.
The framing is left to your discretion.
The floating frame, sleek and modern, is one of the preferred framing choices for contemporary art galleries and museums.
The floating frame perfectly enhances your photographic print.
The spacing between the frame and the image creates a floating effect and highlights the image, making it an ideal art frame to maximize the depth and elegance of the artworks in our collection.
The print is mounted on a 2 mm Dibond panel and placed in the frame.
The depth of the floating frame is 4 cm, and the gap between the photograph and the inner edges of the frame is 0.8 cm for black or white finishes and 1 cm for wood finishes (Oak, Wenge, etc.). This arrangement creates a visually pleasing “floating” effect. Finally, a hanging system is attached to the back of the frame for a quick, easy, and secure installation.
This classic framing combines timeless elegance and sophistication, offering a sublime presentation for your most precious artworks and photographs. A wooden or aluminum frame, chosen for its simplicity and nobility, adds a touch of authenticity and refinement to your piece.
The mat, an essential element of this ensemble, enhances the artwork by creating a visual space around it. It highlights the details and nuances while adding extra depth. Carefully selected, it perfectly complements the artwork without overwhelming it, allowing every detail to stand out.
Finally, the museum glass, of exceptional quality, provides optimal protection against harmful elements such as dust, humidity, and UV rays. With its unmatched clarity and anti-reflective properties, it ensures perfect visibility from every angle, allowing your artwork to shine without distractions.
This harmonious ensemble transforms each piece into a masterpiece, ready to be admired and preserved for generations to come. Investing in a classic frame means choosing to enhance and protect what you cherish with unparalleled distinction.
