Nostradamus - Time Travel and Prophecy

image

It is generally accepted that we live in the present. The past has passed and the future is still to happen. Therefore:
We cannot change our past and the future is still uncertain.

That means also that nobody can really know what will happen in the future. You could make educated guesses but knowing it is impossible, as that would require that in some way or another the future should already exist.

The idea that the future already happened is impossible to comprehend. Besides, the thought that the future is known, fixed or pre-defined could easily lead to wide spread fatalism.


If the future however, is not fixed, it cannot be known and then predicting it with accuracy is consequently impossible and as a result true prophecy cannot exist either. However, history tells us about many prophets that supposedly received true prophecy.

The well-known prophet Michel Nostradamus, born 1503 in France, left us with almost a thousand prophetic quatrains. The book of Nostradamus has recently attracted renewed interest as people link current world events to his prophecies, suggesting that he knew our future. But how can that be possible? If he really did know, then how did he get that information? According to his own writing he used occult practices to receive messages from an occult source, although he never revealed in detail how he managed to do such thing.

Picture Realm

image

The artwork I create could best be described as psychedelic visionary art. It is focused around the mystical, spiritual and the imagination. In many ways it also embraces the hippy and psychedelic culture of the 60s and early 70s.
The pictures are created digitally and built up rather like an architectural structure. They start with the creation and exploration of a fractal, which then becomes the foundation and background of the picture.


Upon these backgrounds I then build the picture by creating the foregrounds such as planets, trees, stars and people by using layers. In most cases the picture has to move through several programs before completion. After adding various textures and materials to the image and applying the final touches with some of the paint tools in Photoshop the picture is finally complete.
