Kindness&
Meditation
Ola Hikari is an accomplished artist and a long-time meditator, but according to her the turning point of her artistic career was a trip to a Buddhist monastery in Chiangmai, Thailand. On a meditation retreat, she received beautiful advice form a nun, which completely shifted her outlook.
Ola was told by this older nun, “Take all your fears and sufferings and… just love them! And you will see how the inner light will transform anything to the pure beauty. Bring that beauty to the world.” Thus Ola’s love for all beings and her love for both inner and outer beauty is combined and transferred into her beautiful and touching works of art.
