Monkey Canvas Prints

3 Wise Monkeys Canvas

Monkeys are the closest relatives to humans. This closeness may be what makes the monkey paintings so rich in symbolism. Monkeys represent intellect and cleverness. They also symbolize noble spiritual qualities: justice, harmony and inner order. A painting with a monkey is a good idea for someone who feels close to Buddhist philosophy. The monkey is a special animal in the Buddhist religion, in which it represents courage, faithfulness and patronage, as well as the message of the deities. Monkeys were also particularly appreciated by the famous street art artist Banksy. In the Bimago gallery you will find paintings depicting monkeys wearing headphones, shooting bananas or dressed in a crown and earrings, as well as other monkeys on a colorful background in the pop art style, which will fit perfectly in modern minimalist and industrial style interiors.

There is a well-known image of three monkeys sitting side by side: one covers his eyes, the other covers his ears and the third covers his mouth. The image of the "three wise monkeys" has made its way into pop culture, but its roots go back to ancient times. The Buddhist point of view interprets such an image as the abandonment of all bad thoughts within oneself and not passing them on. It is the presentation of a thought closer to us: "If you want to change the world, start with yourself". Contemporary culture gives this symbol new meanings. One negative meaning refers to silent consent to the evil and cruelty that surrounds us. Another interpretation speaks of keeping secrets and mysteries. Both of these interpretations, however, are far from the correct symbolism derived from the wisdom of the ancient East. It is up to you to interpret the frame with three monkeys, which you will find in different variants in the Bimago gallery.
