The title of this painting comes from Neil Harrison’s song ”Windmills of Your Mind “ made famous by one of my favourite films “ The Thomas Crown Affair” which was released in 1968 the year of my birth. Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong? When you knew that it was over you were suddenly aware That the autumn leaves were turning to the colour of her hair! Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel As the images unwind, like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind! The windmill which can symbolise transformation sustenance and ones potential. The white windmill serves as a symbol of spiritual purity, while their quiet rotations represents a peaceful state of being which is powered by an invisible force being air. This results in The Windmill being regarded as a symbol of Spiritual transformation and transcendance. Air has many symbolic interpretations which include intellectual and universal thought, change and also as a representative of Spirit. Having three windmills structured in a limitless dream sequence I wanted this to represent a symbolic Trinity which could include The Father, The Mother and The Child or The Father The Son And The Holy Spirit. Either way The Windmill becomes a visual metaphor for creation and ongoing life which is perfectly encapsulated by Robert Frost “ in three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on…." This was one of the eight paintings that I exhibited at The Florence Biennale in October 2023 This is a framed acrylic painting supplied with fitted hanging gear attached.

Micheal’s artistic practice encompasses a painterly spiritual cosmology, in which the journey of inner evolution and growth is repeatedly explored. Employing the full spectrum of abstractionist modes of representation, his work surveys the depths of the collective unconscious through subtle allusions to personal experiences of transformation. Aesthetically informed by Post-Impressionism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, Micheal Haran works across a wide variety of 2D media with a focus on oil or acrylic on canvas. He often merges the verbal and the visual, a process through which he either distils and unites philosophical ideas with pictorial symbolism, or playfully engages in themes of dreams, inner landscapes, and the realm of the soul. Conceptually, the artist is continuously inspired by his deeply transformative experiences with shamanism, notions of wisdom associated with ancient cultures, the archaeology of the sacred, and a plethora of musical genres and the Beat Movement writers. The promise of a calmer inner life and the desire for a more humanitarian world permeate his paintings, which instils feelings of tranquillity, peace, and optimism. Micheal lived in Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon, for two and a half years. During this time he developed a strong connection with Amazonia and its indigenous peoples. This passion has led him to dedicate himself to both producing art and raising funds for the protection of the Amazon and other ecological biomes. Love is at the very core of Micheal’s practice. Be it love for life or love for art making, love is always made visible in his canvases: dreamlike images of flowers, in situ landscapes or ocean scenes, poetic abstract inner visions, and bold written messages. In all of its possible forms of manifestation, the theme of love underscores and drives Micheal’s oeuvre. Micheal Haran studied Fine Art at The Slade School of Fine Art, UCL from 1989 to 1991. Micheal lives and works in London and his work in held in many private collections internationally.
