Artist Statement

​

Gage’s mission is to bring forth visions from unseen realms to inspire others to connect deeper within themselves and with nature. 

 

Through exploring archetypes, esoteric wisdom, foreign cultures and mysticism, he wants to ground in these distant concepts and create conversations about evolution and one’s personal journey of growth and how that relates to the collective. 

​​

Biography

​​

Originally, Gage was a self-trained artist who began live painting at festivals and concerts in 2011.  After 6 years of live painting and showing in local galleries, he quit his corporate job, sold everything and moved to Austria to receive formal training at the Vienna Academy of Visionary Arts. This school functioned both as an art education and an adept Mystery school teaching esoteric wisdom.

​

He was mentored by Luke Brown, Autumn Sky, Amanda Sage, Rebecca Yanovskaya, Daniel Mirante, Lucy Harding, and Oleg Koralev.

​

​While developing his unique painting style, he continued to deep dive into the Mysteries becoming an initiate of Kriya Jyoti Tantric Yoga and other practices. Multiple times he has put all of his belongs in a storage unit and traveled the entire Globe on a sacred pilgrimage.

​​​

Gage sees a direct correlation between the evolution of his consciousness and the growth of his art practice – both in the ability to receive visions and the technically ability execute the concept.

​

Most recently he went on a 1.5-year long pilgrimage to 28 countries.

Here are a few of his missions:

- Egypt: guided activations in the Kings chamber and other temples with the Graceline Institute

- Nepal: a 30-day solo trek in the Himalayas meditating in 4,000 year old Yogi Caves

- Tibet: Attended Saga Dawa at Mt. Kailash and did Kora around the mountain reaching 6,660 meters in Elevation

- India: Sat in retreat at Sadhguru’s Ashram for a week during Maha Shivaratri

- Bosnia: Meditated in underground tunnel system of a 30,000 year old pyramid

- England: Stonehenge, Tor at Glastonbury, Avebury Stone Circle, and Cropcircles

- France: Mary Magdalene Cave in Marseille, Carnac and Gavrinis in Britany

- Turkey: Hogia Sophia and many other Mosques

- Indonesia: Gunug Kawi, Batur Temple, Bisahki Temple

The list goes on...

 

Gage has dedicated his life to his Dharma of making art work to uplift others and raise the frequency of the Earth.
