Play On Consciousness Painting

“I assist the paintings that paint themselves" Gemma is a meditative, channeler of paint. She brings forth compositions of intuitive abstraction and subtle symbolism, resonant with transformational power. Every painting encapsulates a journey of expansion. The starting point is her intention to see that which is hidden from view; an omnipresent reality of balance and harmony. A summons to the canvas comes from a growing liveliness between dual aspects of her inner self. Often it is her fragmented personal experience seeking its counterpoint in the wisdom of the archetypal and the transcendent. "I found the perfect palette when I discovered Japanese acrylics, the shades so faithful to nature, vibrant and alive. Large scale feels the most comfortable and it’s a mystery every time as to what will come through" Gemma's process in both creating and listening to paintings brings together both a spiritual and psychological lens. Greatly influenced by depth psychologist Carl Gustav Jung and the free thinking of Rudolf Steiner, there is an innocent playfulness alongside wise reflection. Hints of landscapes and figures activate the imaginal and open the door to new worlds. Gemma is a meditation teacher, trained in an ancient technique from the Vedic Tradition of India. "Meditation has a vital role to play, it expands and integrates consciousness. Every painting is a journey, a story of growing awareness, interwoven through colour, abstraction and symbolism. In the material world it is easy to lose touch with spiritual reality. As we collectively shift into a new time of inner knowing; I believe painting will be vital to bridge the personal and the archetypal, the temporary and the infinite. Intuitive painting has the potential to be a powerful reflection of who we really are at the deepest level" “I assist the paintings that paint themselves. To connect the every day and the mystical. For a conscious life. One that honours the inner realms. As the key to fulfilment” You can find Gemma in galleries and private/ public collections at home and abroad.
