Visionary Art Explored

VISIONARY ART IS ART that purports to transcend the physical world and portray a wider vision of awareness including spiritual or mystical themes, or is based in such experiences.

Phases of Enlightenment

This work explores the layers of self. The figure sitting in the composition at the bottom blossoms upward, shedding the layers of this earthly realm entering cosmic conscience. Like the lotus flower, “With its roots based in mud, it submerges every night into murky river water, and—undeterred by its dirty environment—it miraculously re-blooms the next morning without residue on its petals”. The figure with closed eyes deep in mediation surrounded by mushrooms, with the rainbow roots of two hearts leading up the anatomy of female. Wrapping around the rising muscle structure is D.N.A. Rainbow D.N.A. that is the trunk of an elephant. The moon and sun on the ears of the elephant and a flower of life tattooed on the center of the forehead of the cosmic elephant. Representations of the divine, this body of work searches the self for the true nature and the metamorphosis of cosmic soul.
