Ṛta (Law of Universe) Painting

Ordo Amoris, (Ivana Suchacova in real name), is an abstract artist based in Prague, Europe, who creates large-scale abstract paintings that stem from her exploration and experimentation with the theme of freedom, which she believes to be the essence of the primary source. Her artistic process revolves around the concept of creating without the constraints of a thinking mind, instead tapping into the boundless energy of pure consciousness to create freely and consciously. However, even when the concept dissolves into a non-concept, it still retains a semblance of conceptualization. This leads her to ponder the essence of true freedom and what it truly signifies. She earned a Master of Philosophy of Art degree from Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. Not only constantly answers seeking studies, but as well her thoughts which go beyond what is usually known and perceived, influence her painting. The act of going beyond what is usually known and thought either in perceptions or creations as a crucial part of her creative process can be understood, as Ordo Amoris reflects, as an invitation to a space that the mind would name “the miracles”. Devoid of all that make us feel comfortable in the familiar, the space of freedom of great intelligence occurs where all that is is in a pure unconditional creation. Either to create it or to perceive it, by ignoring the habitual responses or unconscious thoughts, Ordo Amoris gives a space to creation of that frequency of being where there is the clarity of doing in so-called non-doing (explained in the traditional Eastern philosophy of wu-wei) where all that is provides the space into the unknown and to a priori freedom where the existence is in meditative state of being: open, new, fresh and alive regardless of any predominant behaviours or thoughts. “In my paintings I study the space where questions and subsequent conversations arise between the universal energies of something considered, as an intention, the primary source of all the movement in the Universe, and on the other hand the freedom as the intelligent energy a priori inherent in all that is.” What is to go on the canvas, she reflects, is not a picture, nor an idea, not the event, but that “what is”. “I do not have tendencies to name my work abstract. The works created in the vast space of the unknown are not my projections, nor expressions, it has nothing to do with myself, nor my feelings. It is not self-projected, the self is even not there.
