Theme and variation. I played around with this in Picassa 2. Halleleujah Well I’ve heard there was a secret chord / that David played and it pleased the Lord / but you don’t really care for music do ya? / It goes like this – the fourth, the fifth / the minor fall, the major lift / the baffled king composing halleleujah Leonard Cohen

Epiphany Of Cosmic Consciousness illustrates a moment of being connected in all ways to all things..the universe. It is a psychospiritual experience I’ve heard many people speak of, that passes all too quickly yet leaves it’s experiencer dazzled. The white horse in the image is symbolic of purity, strength; all the qualities in us that heroically bears our passage. The feathers are a metaphorical reference to the flight of the soul.This image is photo based and has gone through an organic mixed media process. Prints beauifully.

The subject of Secrets of Paradise… is the guide of the soul who in Jungian terms is called the anima. She is the angel, the heroine, the goddess who shines through the psychological darkness like a bright sky beckoning the beholder to follow their dream, risk the passage, and at all costs continue the quest. The adorning Peacock feather is symbolic of royalty and potency. In alchemy the peacock is cousin to the Phoenix, the mythical bird who rises from the ashes. The central theme of the image is the feminine eye, focused, a visionary awareness that resides in the human psyche; the third eye. Photography based mixed medium processed image.

Collage with apophysis overlays The way of love is not / a subtle argument. The door there / is devastation. Birds make great sky-circles / of their freedom. / How do they learn it? They fall, and falling / they’re given wings. Rumi

The symbolism of this piece is quite rich, and in further researches I found out that I ended up making relations between all the representations without consciously being aware of it. The Chemistry is about inner alchemy and how the power of transformation manifests itself through Will. That’s basically my version of the ancient illustrations on alchemy in which we see a dragon-serpent “wrapping” a maiden. In my version, for artistical reasons, I decided not to draw the serpent involving the maiden’s body, but putting her closer to the background, and showing her body changing according to the colors of the environment – which are the colors of the four elements. The serpent is a representation of the unconscious forces of Will. The maiden raises from a pond (the beginning of all things, regeneration, new birth) that has been formerly muddy and still (the dark green color at the edges), and now is made clear by the power of fire (strength, courage, will, passion), or the dragon. A bunch of monarch butterflies come out the pond. The butterfly is one of the symbols of the Gemini sign (Mercury) and the classical representation of regeneration and rebirth. The maiden’s hair turns first into green grass from which 3 lotus flowers (another symbol of rebirth) arise, and then into fire. The dragon’s head show itself among the profusion of hair. The four elements are clearly present, in images and colors: Fire (dragon’s head, the top of the picture, the color red), Earth (grass and leaves, the color green), Air (butterflies, the color yellow) and Water (the pond, the color blue). It’s part of our journey as human beings to face muddy waters throughout our life. But to remain stagnant in them is our choice. We all have the inner strength to being born again, to rebuild ourselves – we just need to accept the changes and look toward the future. We are the alchemists. colored pencil on bristol board / 17×8.5
