Nature Art Exhibition

One of my art works (Below) was selected for a special merit award recently.
See website: http://www.lightspacetime.com/nature-art-exhibition-special-merit-category/

This came from many hours of observing leopards in the wild, especially when I had a chance to do so alone and undisturbed. Truly magical animals. Of course it was also painted entirely to music.

Best,

Patterns in Nature - Abstract Art

I'm fascinated with patterns I see in trees. I have used the images which include photographs and drawings in a frenzy of rock and roll music to Deep Purple and Santana.
Here are some of the works.

Visual Music - Abstract - Freedom Series

I have worked on a series of acrylic based paintings which I titled "Freedom" a loose term to describe the basic sentiment behind them. All the works were done to Deep Purple's music, a band I've admired and their musicianship for decades. No matter how many times I've heard the songs, no art work yielded the same results, including the inner experience differs each time. As always I painted to the rhythm which also meant working quite fast.

The method of the Dots

In this piece I worked with fine coloured dots to fill an area. The dots are evoked by music (Drawing real time) and the colours represent areas of the body and the psyche.

The method is based on the Sefirotic Tree of Life a comprehensive study that is out of the scope here.

The divine Sefirot and their allegorical colours are as follows from the top:-

1.       Crown/Keter a blinding invisible light. The sefirot of the Intellect.

2.       Wisdom/Chochma- includes all colours.

3.       Understanding/Binah – Yellow and green

4.       Loving kindness/Chesed –White/silver

5.       Strength/Judgement/Gevurah – Red/Gold

6.       Beauty/Mercy/Tiferet –Yellow and violet

7.       Eternity/Victory/Netzach – Light pink

8.       Splendour/Humility/Hod – Dark pink

9.       Foundation/Connection/Yesod – Orange green

10.   Kingdom/Physical realm/Malchut – Indigo

The dots in the study are also useful for both internal and background aspects in drawings

Colorized Tree Trunk

I came about a most Intriguing olive tree trunk and decided to colorize the inner qualities, this was the result.

I used colours that correspond to the ten Sefirot where each colour represents an inner and outer part of the body, so it is a meditative piece as well to Jazz music.

Point Technique in visual music

Samples of the point technique used to music. 
These are meditative techniques using jam sessions for relaxation. The meditative focus
is on the four elements found in Nature, and also on colours representing life force
energy points in the body.

Dots Technique

Pastel on paper  23x 23 cm 2013

Drawing being one of the major forms of expression in visual art utilises among others the method of using dots, the surrealist method of “Entopic graphomania” in which dots are made at the sites of impurities on a blank piece of paper. The music guides the direction of the dots which eventually fill up the whole space. The dots connect and lead the eye from one area to the next.

Expressive Art Therapy - Visual Music

My art is based around drawing to music real time building layers of drawings and photographic material in abstract art and partial abstract art mediums.

I record vibrations sensed in music mainly using pastel as a medium of expression.

The aim in my works is to present the fundamental themes that evolve around the four elements found in Nature- earth, water air and fire which are also found within man. Meditations on the images constitute the initial exploration in the themes I research. Next I explore the relationships between the vegetative or inanimate worlds, the animate, the soul and spirit in the human being using specific color schemes that each have a corresponding area in the body as well as any reference to emotive qualities.  The working method includes layering abstract drawings upon photographic materials to illustrate these points.

The integration between visual music and movement, allows oneself to delve deeper into the inner core of the being, a self -discovery journey as well as the relationship to the environment.

Through the creative expression of intuitive drawings, one taps into the senses to reveal the imagination faculty, the unique creative flow that exists from within, to nullify the senses in order to receive. Music enhances memory, thought transformations that bring about a feeling of liveliness as the emotive and cognitive are aligned. It opens a whole new world of possibilities, that of vitality and creative potential within and outside ourselves.
