Christine Degoy

I paint in the world, liquid color and rock powder.
I paint as a vertical dreamer, nourished by a multi-dimensional universe,
carrying within its inner-self the light of awakening.

Painting is a sacred act;
both of introspection and transmission.
That awareness of sharing makes me feel responsible for the energy mediated by the canvas.
It is bound in my view to convey, to uplift, construct, inspire, sooth, love, each in turn or all at once.
Some would say that the marvelous is gone, like an old-fashioned ancient quest, but can we build without hope, move forward without joyful perspectives, evolve, progress without seeing confidence, peace, without tasting the pleasures of the senses?
I do not recognize myself in a world where only pain is genuine, and joy superficial. These energies to be accepted need a transmutation.
I take pleasure in this world where the possibility to create, celebrate, share, transform even transcend, exist.
I am an artist fully engaged in the meaning of Life.
