'RADIANCE OF COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS-
WHO AM I TO WHO I AM'
Would any soothsayer of Art predict that "Radiance of Cosmic Consciousness- Who Am I to Who I Am" would someday feature as a milestone in the history of Art? Would they take their artistic license to suggest that Mona Lisa's eyes would follow these artworks at the Louvre, like they do at all visitors with her mysterious smile of "Cosmic Consciousness." This remains an artist's fantasy, the drive behind this body of work.
Out of disorder emerges order and post World War II, Abstract Expressionism emerged in America. Now post Coronavirus too some new Art Forms may emerge, which are not referential to the past as the world looks inward for spiritual salvation.
The "Radiance of Cosmic Consciousness" has a new story to tell with an innovative technique not intimidated by the past. These mystical paintings take you on a spiritual journey from "Who Am I to Who I Am."
For the first time, experience one painting in different dimensions, in light and in the dark, as the paintings glow in the dark changing its form and colors. In dark the whole room gets illuminated with mellow Radiance of Cosmic Consciousness. It creates a 360degree immersive experience that will transport you to the Cosmic Ocean (Sheer-Sagar).
These artworks are similar to the X-ray vision of the Cosmos. They represent the sound and vibration of energies of the Cosmos. ‘Where there is a vibration, there is bound to be a sound, which means the whole of existence is just a complex web of sounds.’- Sadhguru
What makes these paintings particularly interesting is that they identify with the cosmos and nothing else. These representations on canvas are an eventful expression of a spiritual cosmos inside a human being. They are arresting flashes of insight, an unabashed declaration of inner radiance, kind of visual image of the spirit which is countless tissues of light.
Today, modern science is saying that 99% of the cosmos is empty but not that there is nothing, there is something but we can’t perceive it with our five senses as it is a non-physical dimension.
In these paintings the Cosmic Ocean stands revealed, opening wondrously their veils. These paintings are about seeing the unseen where the grosser light vanishes into the radiance of the cosmos.
They resonate with the description of Experience in Cosmic Consciousness by the spiritual masters like Paramahansa Yogananda- " Penetrate your consciousness through the star (spiritual eye) to enter intot he Kingdom of the Infinite Spirit" The entire cosmos is gently luminous, like a city seen afar at night glimmered within the infinitude of my being. His body is countless tissues of light. It is indescribably subtle, a mellow radiance, ever undiminished. The voice of God I heard resounding as ॐ AUM, the Vibration of Cosmic Motor".
"ॐ Aum is the primordial, effulgent sound which permeates the entire cosmos- the wise call it by many names. Spiritual masters concur- ॐ Aum is the universal sound and not religious in nature. ॐ Aum, Hum, Amen, Amin is one and the same. It is the invisible divine power, the only doer, the sole causative & activating force that upholds all creation through vibration.” The biblical words refer to the threefold nature of God as Father, Son, Holy Ghost (Sat, Tat, ॐ Aum in Hindu scriptures).
ॐ Aum is the "Radiance of Cosmic Consciousness" that is condensing on the canvas as cosmic beams illuminating the vibration of the cosmic motor and sound of the cosmic drum, which can't be experienced by our naked eyes. It is a common cord binding all these paintings together.
These paintings touch upon the aspect of our existential reality through Cosmic
understanding and philosophy in a manner that is deeply visual and experiential. These paintings evoke a very personal and yet universal understanding of the Cosmic belief and energy and it touches the inner core of humanity shaking loose the weight of our own mundane existence with the power to embrace something larger something that is both scientific and yet divine.
