In  Gold Buddha, Stone Chun Shi transforms the sacred icon into a field of pure  energy. Through his signature Stonecube technique — painting in micro-cubes  derived from Chinese calligraphy strokes —The artist redefines the  relationship between image, light, and consciousness. The Buddha’s face,  built from hundreds of luminous cubes, appears both pixelated and  transcendent. It glows from within, as if awareness itself were radiating  through matter. Rather than depicting divinity, the work embodies it — converting  spiritual stillness into chromatic vibration. For Shi, the Stonecube is not a  stylistic choice but an ontological statement: each cube is a “unit of  energy,” a visible manifestation of flow between thought and being. In this  way, the Gold Buddha becomes less a portrait than a meditation—a visual  mantra of compassion, order, and awakening.
