Peace
Oil on canvas 24” X 24”. Completed December 2008.
“I am devoted to total world peace. I am the world.”
– Byron Katie
The PEACE painting simply evolved. I am sure many other artists have experienced the same thing when you have in mind to paint one thing but something totally different emerges – much to your surprise. It was like this with PEACE. I really didn’t know from one step to the next how it would be. However, I did feel like I was being guided through the entire process by spirit so I did not worry.
This painting does not need too much explaining, so here are just a few insights:
The hummingbirds (delicate creatures representing joy) find the PEACE mandala more attractive then their usual nectar flowers, thus they are taking their nourishment from PEACE.
The mandala reflects diversity in oneness.
True peace comes from a higher state of consciousness. Specific colours, such as certain blues, purples, gold and silver, were used to assist the viewer in raising their own consciousness and attaining peace.
In peace and joy

This piece is wonderful, Maya. The colors and bright and happy and the design so pleasing, but the message is very important in its universality. Thank you. It gives me hope.

This is kind of a new age image. :
) There are things I don’t like here: I don’t see what babylonian names has to do with Vedic, Buddhist symbols. :)Maya - replied
I really cannot explain it. It is just the way I saw it. I did not see any differences in what I was shown. But I really appreciate your comment as I had not thought about it that way. Thank you.
