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
