In the 1950s, Pichai Nirand developed a unique painting
technique. He used oil paints mixed with sand, which
added a unique dimension to his work through its textured,
raised surfaces. Besides inventing this distinctive technique,
Pichai pioneered the integration of symbols from Buddhist
art, such as shapes and patterns from the Buddha9s
footprints, into his abstract modern art. His paintings combine
visual beauty with deep narratives and expressions of faith
in Buddhism.

The painting features elements with specific meanings in
Buddhism, such as the lotus flowers and leaves beside
decaying stumps. This fusion of modern art with Buddhist
concepts exemplifies the unique nature of Pichai9s work.
