Labors of Light: Painting in Premonition of the Third Eye
Welcome to the ‘Labors of Light‘ collection, a unique artistic trip that captures the elusive essence of the Third Eye. Here, the Unconscious and Invisible entwine with Consciousness, opening new realms of understanding and introspection.
Unbeknownst to me, these ‘Labors of Light‘ carried the imprints of the Third Eye. It was only upon my foray into Light Yoga that I recognized this profound connection. The paintings, with their intuitive strokes, mirrored the two-petalled lotus of higher consciousness.

Touch of Light, 1978, Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas 125 x 80 cm
The Touch of Light not only reveals, but is the essence of everything visible
"Touch of Light" is a vibrant acrylic on canvas that captures the ethereal dance of illumination upon the threshold of perception. The artwork is a visual musical composition of color and light, embodying the mystical experience of Third Eye awakening; a topic that I could only understand several years later through initiation into the Yoga of Light.
The composition swirls around a central luminescence, reminiscent of the spiritual concept of inner light that transcends physical sight. This painting resonates with the two-petaled lotus symbol, traditionally associated with the ajna chakra, suggesting a deep communion with higher realms of consciousness.
With each stroke and choice of hue, I steer the viewer through layers of cosmic energy and the play of light against the vast tapestry of the universe. "Touch of Light" beckons the observer to a journey that goes beyond the canvas - into a realm where light not only reveals but also is the essence of all form.
This work stands as a testament to my link to the light, an intuitive exploration that predated my formal spiritual practices. It is a reflection on the light that resides in all, waiting to be unveiled through introspection and awareness.
The painting echo my artistic journey, as it parallels my philosophical inquiry into the nature of existence and the light that is the core of our being. It's a universal narrative, rendered in the timeless language of art, inviting contemplation and reverence for the boundless beauty of creation.

Here and Beyond, 1978, Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas 110 x 90 cm
Here and Beyond, the core of existence, the heart of understanding
"Here and Beyond" represents my contemplation of the ethereal threshold that separates the tangible world from the vast unknown. The artwork serves as a gateway, inviting the viewer to traverse the familiar into the realm of infinite possibility. This piece speaks to the interconnectedness of all things, the dance between the physical and the metaphysical, the seen and the unseen.
At the center of the painting, a radiant sphere emerges, symbolizing the core of existence, the heart of understanding where all knowledge and mystery coalesce. This orb is enveloped by a swirling nebula of pastel hues, suggesting the ever-expanding universe and the fluid nature of reality as perceived through the Third Eye. It's a vibrant meditation on the continuity of life and spirit, a visual ode to the journey from the present into the eternity of the cosmos.
My use of color in "Here and Beyond" is both a technical marvel and a philosophical statement. The colors transition from warm to cool, from intense to subtle, mimicking the natural gradients found in celestial phenomena and reflecting the spectrum of human emotion and spiritual enlightenment. This spectral array hints at the chakras and the energy they represent, drawing parallels between the cosmic order and the internal human experience.
Through this work, I explore the concept of transition and transformation, of crossing from the concrete reality into the boundless domain of what lies beyond our understanding. The artwork challenges you to consider the porous nature of the veil between worlds, and to embrace the unknown with a sense of wonder and openness.
"Here and Beyond" is not just a painting; it's an experience, a moment of Zen where the observer can sense the profound unity of all things. It beckons to each of us to look within and without, to acknowledge the infinite within the finite, and to find peace in the beautiful mystery that is existence.

Yoga of Light explains Paintings and Intuitions
During a summer of solitude and fasting in Berlin, I discovered the Yoga of Light. This transformative experience revealed that my artistic creations which I present here, were premonitions of the Third Eye. As I embraced meditation, my art found new meanings, aligning with cosmic insights.
Green Landscape, 1978, Original Oil Painting on Canvas 110 x 90 cm
A Moment of Communion with the Spirit of the Earth
"Green Landscape" is a testament to my deep engagement with the vibrancy of nature and the spiritual essence it embodies. This serene yet profound piece juxtaposes the tranquil verdancy of earthly existence with the dynamic movement of the cosmic dance, creating a visual hymn to the interconnectedness of all life.
The upper half of the painting is dominated by a tumultuous expanse of deep blues and indigos, suggesting the tumult of a cosmic ocean, while the lower half transitions into a calming spectrum of greens. This color shift from the celestial to the terrestrial invites contemplation of the interplay between the heavens and the earth, the spiritual and the physical.
My brushwork in "Green Landscape" carries the rhythm of natural cycles, the ebb and flow of life's energies, and the constant renewal inherent within the environment. The painting, while devoid of explicit form, is replete with the suggestion of landscapes - perhaps rolling hills or the gentle swell of waves - further blurring the lines between different states of being and planes of existence.
This piece also reflects my commitment to exploring the manifestations of light and color. The subtle interplay of light within the darkness, and the dance of shadows within the light, hints at the unseen forces that animate the visible world. It is a dance of elements, a choreography of the universe captured in oil and canvas.
"Green Landscape" remains not just a visual experience but a meditative journey for the viewer. It asks us to pause, to breathe in the essence of the living, breathing landscape that surrounds us, and to recognize our place within the grand tapestry of life. Through this work, I not only share a landscape but an experience, a moment of communion with the spirit of the green earth.
