Journey of Souls Painting

Michael Katz's recent painting, *Journey of Souls*, exemplifies his mature style of abstract expressionism infused with elements drawn from his deep engagement with Buddhist meditation and dream symbolism. This piece, like much of his work, integrates vibrant color fields and dynamic forms that evoke a sense of movement and transcendence. Katz’s paintings often reflect his long-standing interest in the Buddhist concept of "form is emptiness," a theme evident in the layered textures and ethereal qualities of *Journey of Souls*. The composition suggests a metaphysical journey, with abstract forms that may represent souls in transition, moving through different planes of existence. This aligns with his practice of transpersonal psychology and dream analysis, where he explores the boundaries between consciousness and the subconscious
