A river of elementals, cosmic beings, and magical beasts swirl together in one great flood of light and shadow, emanating the shapes and colors illuminated within the Beloved’s kaleidoscope. With every turning of the wheel, an ever-changing cycle of Life appears. Dawn spills into the night sky, a blossom falls as a cherry grows; and the movement in our mind trickles down into a…

This painting is called “Water for Life”.
I believe that art is a technology that can communicate and transform the collective consciousness. If we begin to integrate what our sciences and ancient philosophies are telling us about Holographic Reality we learn that everything is energy vibrating. With the integration of the knowledge of subtle energies in our every day lives, the artist becomes more than a transmitter of images. The artist becomes a technician of the visible…

“My oeuvre bridges the material and ethereal realms through the essential integration of art and society. In an effort to restore the lost harmonic equilibrium, I portray the emergence of a new cosmology I am witnessing. Through diffusion and cross-cultural exchange between the East and West, we are building a deeper sense of connection and understanding in accordance with the natural world and global community. We are myth-makers, visionary practitioners, mystic sound, and holistic healers. Through the recognition of…

Sergey Rytov was born and grew up in Central Russia but I always felt an inexplicable interest to ancient eastern philosophies and their culture. His art was inspired by magical journey to India in 2006, a mystic country which manifests variety of miracles even nowadays. Sergey’s art is symbolic with themes that are taken from classical Tibetan Buddhism. Transparent canvas symbolizes infinite space and emptiness – it’s a basis from which everything is manifested. And image – the union…

In Qahiraʻs own words: My images attempt to evoke magic…spiraling and emerging through the sacred symbology of the Divine source, the Great Mother, the One. I have a passion for reaching into the essence of what is deeper than words, making pictures of what is beneath the surface, behind the veil, healing what arises from the depths of the world soul, activating the powers of intention, creating magic and revealing transcendence.
I feel that the role of the “artist”…

Having done commissioned work and raised a family, I had not created “my own” work for years. But whenever someone asked what I would paint I would say mandalas. Predictably, I am now painting iconic mandalas (a purposeful hybrid) and I am affirmed in my intuition: mandalas are a wonderful way of transforming the individual and the group. Helping to align us to a greater power and purpose, mandalas create balance and understanding: a sense of atONEment through which…
