About the Painting 

 

In the search of form in the formless, a being arose. This multidimensional voyager took on many shapes before finding the final form captured in the painting before you. He is a physical prescience of all that was in store for me to learn, shed and evolve over my first journey across the world which lasted almost two years.

 

He is a completely timeless or timefull being, containing aesthetic understandings of the past, present and future. The Merkabah suspended between the star gates in the being’s right hand represent this timeliness evolution of consciousness and the journey towards higher levels of creation and understanding.

 

While some may see the hand behind the jacket and think illuminati, I had a different intention. This being understands what’s behind the veil yet choses to share the knowledge and wisdom freely. He knows that walking in both worlds is the best way to create a bridge and free the mind and soul.

 

Embossed in this painting is my first sigil. A sigil is a very powerful manifestation tool. To create one, a person has to find what it is they really want to call into their life. Form me, it was more love – of self; treating myself better, honoring my creativity, following my journey with faith, and also to give to others. I wanted to share and care more, as well as to call a lover into my life.

 

To make one, you boil the summation of your yearnings/goals down to a single word and re-arrange the letters into a magical looking symbol. After its creation, you need to charge it with energy. Then let it go into the world.

 

With over 8 layers of color on the 344 tubes in the background, it foreshadowed one of my greatest lessons I am still working on today – Balance. This painting induced great bliss, mania, confusion, confidence, wisdom, doubt, insecurities and so much more.

 

Being my first +200 hour painting, I saw the true extent to which this thing called art is really just a physical mirror for yourself. It reflects your greatest hopes and aspirations while testing your resolve and fortitude, and confronting you along the way with all of your weaknesses. Painting is a meditation, an art of being that results in a physical optical experience for yourself and others. This was the deepest meditation/confrontation of self that I had experienced artistically in my life at that point.
