Imaginary Constellations Series
This is an ongoing series of small oils on canvas 20x20 cms
the prequel being The Traveler 2009 and related works from previous explorations.
After many years working on a larger scale,
I felt the creative pulse changing.
Now I have come to delight in this almost miniature way of working,
I love the Intensity and focused imagery
(resulting from improvisation and fluid beginnings)
that this way of Painting brings to me.
When I am immersed
in this visionary craft
unexpected themes rise to meet me
an Art revealing visionary tales
at the start of an adventure
at a threshold
between personal
and trans-personal realms
blissful, scary, ecstatic
.
Painting is a trance
Painting is a dance
Painting is a chance
to make the Old songs
become Birth songs again
