Vision 42 Painting

I study various spiritual traditions and I embody my research in painting. I support practical approach, creative intention and a dialogue with listeners, viewers and interested ones. Spiritual experience, unusual perception and energy is something that is difficult to convey in words, it is desirable to be fixed at the level of feelings and sensations. It is great if you can also make an image. This abstract artwork is one of my series and it helps me to communicate with the audience on the verge of imagery. I don’t go completely into abstraction, but I don’t offer people the images they are accustomed to. So I illustrate the boundary of perception beyond which something also exists. I use bright contrasting colors to sharpen this line, to saturate it with emotions. I create kind of congestion of habitual perception, which is difficult to fixate in spiritual practices, but which causes other ways of seeing to be revealed. The energy of the soul, which helps to see other layers of the reality, is manifested when the usual perception is not enough. At the same time, there is no description for another way of seeing. An artist, a teacher or a shaman can lead to this border, but then the person must go themselves to open the vision. There are various spiritual traditions that complete the gestalt description of the world in order to show the way beyond the description later. The unfolding ability of vision is subjective for each person and it's important to feel the value of this subjectivity. There are so-called rituals of searching of Vision in spiritual traditions. Their goal is the vision itself, and the very readiness of a person to perceive something new, extraordinary or obscure. I combine the symbolism of the color with the symbolism of the game of primary elements from the Yellow shamanism tradition, Tibetan astrology and geomancy, Mongolian and Tibetan Buddhism. In General, the whole gamut I use refers to the element of fire approaching it to the energy of the human soul perceiving the picture.
