Spectral Rainbow Paintings: Colors of Existence

where Color Spectrum = Spectrum of Consciousness

In this series of images I have captured the full intensity and beauty of the colors of the rainbow. Each image is a metaphorical representation of different state of consciousness, offering a visual journey through the basic definitions of life and existence.

By combining the spectrum of colors with the spectrum of consciousness, I create an evocative experience for you; perhaps it will inspire you to reflect on your own experiences and perspectives.

I strive to render the invisible visible

"The Source of Being" is an abstract exploration of the origin and interconnectedness of existence. This painting is one of the pivotal works that mark my intense period of inquiry into the nature of consciousness and the cosmos.

The artwork presents a radiant central orb, pulsating with an intense light, from which concentric rings of vibrant colors emanate, symbolizing the ever-expanding waves of existence. Each hue vibrates with its frequency, harmoniously blending into the next, a metaphor for the continuum of life and the spectrum of experiences that form the human condition.

"The Source of Being" is representative of my artistic practice, which seeks to visualize the intangible and provide form to the formless. This painting embodies my dedication to probing the depths of existence through the medium of art, an endless journey into the heart of being.

Rainbow clings to the Light like a Man to the Truth

Well, this metaphor revealed itself to me and made me think about the subject. It suggests the eternal bond between light and color, truth and human being. It has a sense of reverence for the natural world, while also emphasizing the importance of seeking truth and enlightenment.

Truth is something to be pursued and held onto tightly, just as the rainbow seems to cling to the light that gives it life. I invite you to contemplate the beauty and wonder of the nature, while also encouraging to seek truth and enlightenment in your own life, and to hold onto these truths with the same tenacity and devotion that the rainbow clings to the light.

The white glow at the center is a visual representation of purity and the intrinsic light within, around which the entire mandala organically unfolds.

This painting is emblematic of my broader practice, which often delves into the themes of existence, the spiritual interconnectedness of the universe, and the poignant beauty found in life's transient moments. It's not just a painting; it's a philosophical exploration rendered in color and form, inviting you to reflect on your place in the grand tapestry of life.

TRINITY OF THE VISIBLE

Red

- active energy -
inhalation of being,
light materializing as a flame,
blood of love,
reason flying to knowledge


Yellow

- permitting energy -
let it all happen,
it is the light
that enlightens the sun,
not being illuminated by it


Blue

- passive energy -
exhalation of being,
energy of emptiness,
all-embracing universality,
state of creative not-knowing
