I call this painting the Forest of Gods – it is a painting about an allegorical forest of magic candle-trees, anchored with their sinuous psychic roots in the dark night of life. A vivid moon (the symbol of the enlightenment – far above and distant) is shedding its mysterious light on this scene, which is not belonging to any time or space. Just as the darkness is present and felt, so too is the feeble light of the noon. With the little light we have, we can visit from far this place and a strange scenery unfolds. Archetypes of gods are seen in each candle flame, they are growing in the light of each candle-tree, in a different way for each of them. A certain brightness apparently comes from the light generated by these god-like silhouettes; however, another truth lurks in the shadow of these manifestations. It’s the beings trapped in these candle-trees, populating these strangely living paradigms, who (the beings trapped) are feeding this light into each god-like figure. Even more, it's their enchained being itself, their commitment to their cages, the acceptance of their own existential conditioning, their complicity with their own darkness and light, their play in this game that is actually what enlightens their gods. It’s their fights and defeats, their own astonishment and bewilderment and their quest for peace which are defining the god that was created in the night of their existence. It's them determining which light is surrounding their own Gods and how far deep this light pierces their night. But only some of the trapped are able to transmit enough force through their own spiritual candle-trees to light them up, to make them burn; there are others, further into this forest which are mere shadowy stems, the possibility of non-existence having taken over after they fell from their own existences for mysterious reasons; they are empty, we cannot see anyone being inside, even trapped, no light, no sense of hope, only the smoke of their demise. The god-like figures, religious and non-religious, are the embodiment of the fears, hopes, nightmares and dreams of the souls attached to their cages. The light of enlightenment is the radical exit from this night and the liberation from the perverted need to always personify our psychic content and coagulate it in shape of icons. On another note, a powerful thought that must catch our attention by following the meaning of this painting is that the divine and our gods (which are the mere representations of these god notions) are very different realities. This painting implies different layers of meaning and more than one conclusion. Other paintings will follow in this series to continue this amazing story.

My artist name is SORiaN. My art is called SORiaN ArT....An art about courage and sincerity. I have named my painting method philosophical surrealism. As a painter, my focus is into the abstract, the conceptual, the surreal. Archetypes, ideas, metaphors of this world and the vastness of the soul are the seeds and the pillars of the stories that I am telling in my paintings. They demand the participation of the observer, to dive inside them, to embrace them in order to eyewitness this emerging new world. As a poet, the philosophy is my nourishing ground. I write philosophical poetry to illuminate our darkest and dearest of nights, the night of life with the candor of the liberated seeker, grasping at every slice of light and life, until the day of our awakening. My poems are about what seems to be in our sight, but mostly hides at the edge of our eye, they are about the truth in our un-admitted lies and the freedom we silently crave for in the shadow of our defeats. They are about the presence, about the now and here in everything and the endurance to walk this path. The merge of these two worlds gives birth to a new dimension, where the depth, tension and sharpness of un-imprisoned thought are igniting the worldly egos, the selves and the gods into new kind of awareness and perception. My art is the guiding path into this higher and more, it is the living into the state of getting closer to the finality of our questions, it is the act of not walking away and turning the back to our battles, our turmoil and our dreams. My art has the power to bring you back to life. You are all invited to fully participate into this new realization of our cosmos. My background in art and philosophy gives to this attempt a distinctive perspective. Through my paintings and my poems I will be your guide in this new world. Look again at this world through my art like through a magical crystal and find a new connection with your own intimacy, your prejudices, your shame and guilt, your safe zones and your dark demons lurking behind our precious convenience. Thank you! SORiaN
