Artist Writing

Art is a sacred, subtle space 

An open door to the unknown

with unlimited possibilities.

It is a personal ritual 

A process of experiencing

It begins…

When becoming is dissolved 

Into being as experience itself

Where the self activated organic receptivity

Performs far beyond ideas and philosophies

Art is an endless journey…

From austerity to sensibility

Desire to meditation

Ritual to enlightenment

Centering to expanding

Subjective to objective and

A lump of clay to sculpture

Remaining silent

Choice less

Letting it transforms

Whatever…. however

A path

One has to walk on one’s own

And in such walking

One remains only that 

Nothing else
