2008 Copyright. All Rights Reserved to Mariam Muradian. This painting was directly inspired by one of the visions I had in the Native American “Deeksha” Healing/Blessing on New Year’s Eve. My eyes were closed. / I saw penetrating yellow light pouring and radiating out from behind my eyes. I was able to see things in a “Maxfield Parrish way” again. Now consider from whence I have come….. August 2006 I was given a drug to assist my heart; helping to end 40 years of continual “heart attack magnitude” chest pain and to keep me from slipping in and out of consciousness. It was a new, still somewhat experimental, drug on the market….aka “expensive”. In January 2007, after my 13th heart surgery, the drug was increased to get me past a difficult recovery. I began having elevating pressures in my eyes and pain like knives inside my eyes. Very rapidly I lost my peripheral vision, my color vision, and my central vision. My eyes had become extremely light sensitive; I was given the darkest glasses. This was in the middle of painting The Genetic Bill of Rights Painting Series. I had to sort my colored paints into shades of grey (which I fell into quite naturally from my formal art training); I continued to paint in color even though I could not tell you what color it was, apart from some incredibly intuitive color vibrations I would get; sometimes I could even hear the color. The signature piece of that series was painted when I had only a sliver of vision remaining in my left eye. / Because I had so little sensitive vision left, the Blind Society deemed it unreliable and trained me blindfolded. I painted the signature piece 80% blindfolded. It was a beyond trippy time for me!!! During this whole loss of vision, I had the Blind Society coming to my home to train me in skills and navigation. I was taught to use a blind cane. I learned to type and use voice recognition software. I was learning to cook by sound. One day I set out to get the mail: I was gone for two hours, had fallen into a bush, and returned with no mail in hand! I was so overwhelmed and challenged. After much painful testing, it was decided that the new drug was the cause of the blindness. I was left with a lousy choice and no guarantees from the medical community. In October 2007, I found myself a long way from home, down a road that I didn’t like nor was I sure I could reverse, go back to the fork in the road, and choose again. Morphine and the runaway bobsled to hell! So I stopped the drug! I began Chinese Tong Ren. / Miraculously, my sight returned, color too! My peripheral is still not as it was before the drug…..whose complaining?!!! Painting is like candy to me now; I was born with the gift, but now it means even more! My mind and soul are still playing catch up with all that happened. I do not understand the “taking” or the “giving back” of it all…..maybe it is for the comfort of others? I suppose the worst way to come away from such a trial would be with a “metaphorically myopic soul”? (I would like to hear your comments on my last statement, please. Write.) What we see can be such a distracting illusion to the essence of what is really there. Oddly, sometimes I miss the darkness. I remember the lessons of the darkness. As my Father would say, “I have made the circumference.” / Gratitude does not even begin to cover it!.... ~Mariam Muradian

Housepaint on Canvas I left the painting outside overnight and when I cam back the next morning it had changed so dramatically it appeared to have souls rising from the devil’s clutches. This is one of my favs.

This is one of three paintings exploring the ideas of three generations: my mother-in-law, my wife, and my niece – putting the individual in each painting within the context of their culture. This is the concept built around my niece’s generation. I’m not sure it makes for a successful painting or not. But I thought it was worth taking on the challenge. Original ptg.: 48” x 36” / Acrylic on canvas artist’s collection

This pastel was the drawing that inspired the whole series of still life paintings posted at Red Bubble. 32” x 24” / pastel on board private collection

What can you paint with a tube of ultramarine blue and one of titanium white? / with nothing but memories of the country. I love winter, especially in the solitude of deep country. Used to wander the woods, hills, and valleys around my home growing up. Didn’t matter if it was 15 below zero, I’d get cabin fever and go wandering. Loved walking in the night when things were a bit more magical. The land scattered with mysterious shadows, sounds, and sometimes movement. Original ptg: 24” x 36” / acrylic on canvas artist’s collection – because it was the first acrylic painting I ever attempted. I used oils for another couple of years, then finally converted to acrylics only.

“I think of myself as an intelligent, sensitive human being with the soul of a clown which always forces me to blow it at the most important moments.” / ~Jim Morrison One of the many graffiti-covered walls this this long-abandoned building, the only remaining structure from the original Mudlavia Springs Hotel complex, originally built in 1898. The original Victorian building-once a playground of the rich and famous of the world-burned down in 1920, as did two subsequent business ventures on the same site.

Decided to challenge myself. Thought it would be good for me to do one painting a week in one sitting. No multi-session work on these paintings. Figured it might push me to look harder. To be bolder. To boldly go where. . . wait a minute. How’d Star Trek sneak in here. I keep a blog with these paintings commented on in detail, if you’re interested. Just go to Bottomline. . . here’s a gallery of works that are one session paintings. Time to let them get some air on The Bubble. 5” x 7” / acrylic on panel collection the artist

The Sanskrit name for the heart chakra is Anahata, which means the unstruck or unbeaten sound. The heart chakra is the fourth chakra out of the main seven chakras (energy centres) of the body. / This is the chakra where we experience love, how we experience this relies upon how open and balanced this energy centre is. This chakra is predominantly green. Abstract Interpretation of love, universal healing and energy. Each Hue in the spectrum of light has a vibration. This is used in healing and colour therapy by professional healers all over the world. / I have been currently working on my heart chakra, hence this is the outcome of my experience conveyed through the fluidity of paint.
