Ever wondered how a painting is born?

People ask me lots of questions about my art. The most common question I get is: How much time it took me to paint a given painting. I don’t know why humans are so obsessed with something that is a total illusion (time). I prefer questions such as: How did this painting came to be?

Before I dive into that let me tell you something. Kids are the biggest fans of my art and they ask the best questions. If they ask anything at all. Usually they just get “transported” inside the painting and share their joy about it in exclamations and observations and magical stories. Oh god I LOVE KIDS! Cause they get it! They are not conditioned slaves of their minds yet! Art is not supposed to be analysed or dissected with our mind! It is meant to be felt, experienced and ENJOYED!

So to that archi-boring question about how much time it took me to paint a given piece I answer: Lots of present moments! And it’s true. When I paint, I tap into the Timeless (if I’m lucky enough) and let the Universal creativity flow through me. I have no idea if 2 hours or 2 minutes passed. And I have no interest in timing the process. The only thing that matters is that mind is silent, cause great art, same as anything real (love, compassion, joy, abundance) comes from beyond the mind. You cannot think it into existence, you can just put the obstacles out of the way to let it happen.

Back to the original question: How does a big painting like this one came to be?

For me, I get two access points to create. One is through a vision. I basically meditate or do anything that gets me out of my head (yoga, play violin, sit in meditation etc.) and if I’m lucky, I get an instant download from Universe and I see the painting in my head. Forcing anything makes it impossible. To channel visions, I have to be clear as water, empty as space. Obviously, this access road is random. I can get a vision at any time or place and when I do, I usually make a sketch or at least mental note, or just run to studio and start working on it right away. Joy that flows from making such vision into real, tangible piece of art is hard to describe. It is electrifying. These paintings are usually very unique and receive a huge acclaim from public. People can feel the frequency of it on subconscious level- the purity of something that has not been tainted by too much thinking.

Second access is by stepping into it without really knowing where I am going. Just put basic color background and let the next step reveal itself in the moment, let the brushes dance freely. I may have a rough idea about what I want to deliver, or just a theme (“Oneness” for example) but I do not know the details until my brush is touching the canvas. As I surrender to the process, things start to come. Ah ok, there will be a couple sitting facing each other, ok, I see. Oh, they will be touching their hands, I see, and placed inside a light sphere, let’s do it. Eventually every single details is born in the moment, step by step.

This featured painting (called “We Are One”) is an example of the second access point.
I will post an example of a painting that I got through a vision in the next blog.
