Buddha cu ficus is a 1969 by Hrandt Avakian, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a small golden statue of a Buddha tucked behind a big green plant. The leaves are thick and glossy, almost hiding the statue. Around them, there’s a mix of red flowers and a few scattered objects, like a clay pot. The background is a warm red-orange, with some rough brushstrokes. The Buddha statue sits on a simple pedestal, looking calm and quiet. The artist used bold colors and thick paint, making the scene feel lively despite the stillness.

Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
