David Kausek

PAINT FLOWS FROM THE SOUL
Dripping its essence onto nothing 

Colors meld into forms 
Filling blank spaces with energy 

Projections of the inner-being
Vibrating like a song captured in images

Reflections of complexity
Simplified into emotions

The brush moves in all directions 
Circles that follow the mechanics of body

The curvature of one’s hand
Becomes a compass

An organic coalescence of body and mind
Formations emerge from nowhere 

Subtle acts of intuition 
Playfully defying logic 

Subconscious pattens emerge
Chaos gives birth to new structures 

A triangle creates stability by maintaining a primordial balance 
Between substance and void

Echos of the past projected into the future 
Cognitive experiences pass through the moment we call “now”

Nature is a muse 
Unamused by ignorance 

The artist stands at the precipice 
Receiving an ancient signal
The heart pulses with inspiration 

A deep stirring of forces
Urges the body into action

The restless spirit lives on
Forming a visual tapestry of art

A symphony of visions
Alchemical origins 

DaVinci
Madici 

Illuminating the mind with wisdom
Crushed lapis lazuli enchanting old masters 

The earth of Sienna creating scorched perfection among the vineyards

The mortar  and pestle releasing a hidden spectrum of potentialities suspended in oil
Activated by light and the mind

William Blake
Painting 
Poetry

Ephemeral substances of imagination 
Etched into history 

Water renews the brush
As colorful pigments are washed away

The tools are reset

Inspiration returns to its origin 

Awaiting the guidance of mind

Through contemplations and meditations
The artist creates a document of experience

Reactivated by the viewer
A chemical reaction

Taking place in the mind
An easel within one’s skull
