MOKSANANDA

​

British artist based in Valencia for over 35 years. His approach blends figuration and abstraction, exploring a variety of themes related to the experience of the ungraspable. In recent years, he has dedicated himself fully to art, following decades of work in the field of Buddhism. He has been mentored by the multidisciplinary artist Ty Nathan Clark, and was described by Painters Tubes Magazine as “an artist of enormous flexibility [...] an original painter who blends intelligence, talent, and skill.” His work is part of private collections in Europe, the Americas, and Australia.
