Fairie Forest
I am Native American ( Cherokee), very spritual, sensitive and oh yeah...Bi-Polar. But I wouldn't have it any other way...When times are extreme, my creations are at their best. So for that I am grateful. My journey is constantly changing..I dont ever want that to stop. When I wake each morning, I take a quiet walk thru the Fairie Forest to prepare for what ever challenge the day may bring.... at that point I am ready...

Kosmic Kabbalah Art
This combination of Kabbalah, meditation, and modern conceptual art produced a large series of kabbalistic/meditative paintings executed in watercolors and pen-and-ink. Friedman has developed his own original system of translating kabbalistic concepts into graphic shapes and colors based primarily on Sefer Yetzirah (the Book of Creation). Friedman is well-versed in classical Torah Texts (both conventional and esoteric) he is primarily self-taught, and prefers the way of the mystic - as independent and non-denominational as possible.
 The Holy Palace | This is a meditation on the geometry of the ancient Kabbalistic classic Sefer Yetzirah.
This mandala is based on the numbers three, seven and twelve, which are the foundations of Sefer Yetzirah, and their relationship to color theory.
Focus your eyes in the center of the rainbow-colored six-pointed Magen David, relax and breathe.
Soon you'll see the entire picture as a colorful three-dimensional cube with twelve edges.
Calm your mind and enter into this Holy Palace. |
This picture is based on the Partzufim (Personifications) of Atzilut (the world of Emanation) described by the 16th century Zefat Kabbalist, Rabbi Isaac Luria.
This whole picture is only one figure - white-haired Grandfather Arikh Anpin (Large Face) who embraces his entire Family. A blue square is in the center of his featureless head that represents expanded consciousness - unconditional Love.
His beard descends and becomes Fathers and Mothers (Abba and Imma) who represent different levels of Wisdom and Understanding.
The three small figures in the head of the black-haired Son Zer Anpin (Small Face) represent constricted, conditional consciousness - his Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge. |  Family Tree of Life
|
Below him is the red-haired Daughter Nukba, the 'vessel' who receives and channels all of these states of consciousness and gives birth to her Baby - Beriyah (the world of Creation), Yetzirah (the world of Formation) and Asiyah (the world of Action).

Rassouli’s Artwork
 | What makes his art so unique is the way he translates spiritual experience from his subconscious onto canvas through meditation at sunrise. With vibrant hues, Rassouli produces joyful color blends and circular brushwork that create a timeless perspective. He calls his unique painting technique Fusionart.
Fusionart's main theme is cosmic unity. The painting style is derived from mysticism, near-eastern spirituality, and a foundation in European painting technology. Rassouli represents this concept through illumination of the Divine Creative Light coupled with its manifestation reflected on his canvas in the form of feminine power and beauty. |
LIGHT is my inspiration. Many mornings, before the dawn, I climb a mountain in the dark to its peak. There, sitting in solitude, I observe sunrise. There is an interconnected serenity that allows all creatures to experience the divine unity. Having felt that creative energy, I rush to my studio, dip my brush into paint and let it move freely on canvas.
Spiritual, abstract, surrealistic paintings and modern metaphysical

Kirk Reinert
 | Kirk feels that even since his earlier days as an illustrator, he has remained true to his own aesthetic vision. His gifted sense of light, color, and form gives him a special talent for putting life into everything he paints and creating a truly believable experience that touches the imagination of the viewer and brings a feeling of magic to his work.
Although Kirk enjoys working with oils and watercolor, the majority of his paintings are painted with acrylic paint on board.

Christophe Vacher
It is hard for me to discuss my own work; like your own handwriting, it is something that, at this point, is simply a part of me. People often ask me: "What inspires you to paint?" or "What's the meaning of your paintings?" Well, my work is mostly inspired by music, travel and personal experiences. Each painting can either put you in another world, in the middle of a story or simply be the expression in symbols of my inner feelings.

John Ross MacKimmie has been working as an artist/illustrator in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts for the past 15 years ...
