Artist's Comments

This simple photomanip is called Meditation Lookout.
After sustained meditation a window opens up in the mind.
This window of awareness reveals the clear free spiritual sky
with a young waxing moon symbolizing increasing intelligence.

If I paint this image on canvass with oil paints and then photograph
it with a digital camera and then submit that image....
In what way will it be essentially different from what we have here?

If you care to comment, I really want you to say anything, anything you want.

It is no paradox to say that the self neither comes to an end nor continues to exist.

calming, like a deep breath.

i find painting to be meditative, myself.. so painting a balanced image is even more peaceful. my opinion.

As you know I have posted a whole series of paintings and drawings in my gallery.
And it raised some perceptual issues about the translation of created physical art objects into digitalized art objects.
I have to tell you there was a definite weirdness to that process.
Do you find that?

Anyway I decided that I would like to explore the process in reverse i.e. First digitalized object. second physical painting, just to see how that plays in the mind.

Needless to say I haven’t done the painting yet though the blank stretched canvass is right there on the easel. :)

Good to see the way your work has been developing. And many thanks for your insightful comment.

what's better... have opened mind after meditation or see what others don't...without "closed eyes"?
:icontheseus:
Yes it is better to see clearly in all states of being.

To the extent that I meditate it is the opened eyes kind that I practice.

Thank you for your keen insight and drawing attention to this.

this is really peaceful, calm and impressive. i love it, i can look at it for a long time and feel better....the window of awareness..i wish that the window would reveal a calm like meditation always-like yours, but im afraid tht window might bring too many dark, bleak clouds and stormy complex thoughts too. but i suppose thts the affinity.
your image reminds me rene magritte a lot.
thank you, it is really going to my favs and i will be searching peace through your window.

:) Thanks for taking a look at my gallery. I think it's good you left a note, cause I, chaotically as I am, forgot about - and you reminded me of - commenting on at least one of your works, since I watched some of them yesterday without having/taking the time to do so and regretting it. This one, obviously, drawed my attention and deserves to be commented. It strongly reminds me of another great work, by Magritte I guess.
I saw it 2 years ago in a Museum in Antwerpen/Anvers, Belgium. It touched me then. I don't know if you know it, it was a surreal work with a tree placed centrally in a painting almost entirely done in blue-tones. Just in the middle of the tree was the moon, shining bright as if not disturbed by the tree, the whole painting breathing that moonlight-meditative athmosphere that your painting does as well.
And I think it's that, that I like so much, in your work as well as in his; despite the complex forms of the trees he painted, the strongest part of the painting is the simpleness of the moon, that clearness of thought.

Very nice :)
