Robin Jones' “Green Tara” portrays a young girl from a Tibetan herding family as the revered Green Tara, or Nyurma Pamo, "noble, swift one," a symbol of compassion in action in Tibetan Buddhism.
Dressed in vibrant red and green floral garments, she stands confidently with her hands on her hips, aiming her serene, powerful gaze at the viewer.
Intricate golden haloes encircle her head and body, evoking Tara’s divine essence, while the background features delicate pink blossoms, birds with pink plumage, silver mountain peaks, and dragonflies, all symbolizing her connection to nature.
In this portrait, the girl embodies Tara Nyurma Pamo's spirit, exuding strength and grace, inviting viewers to reflect on resilience and compassion.
