Somewhere in May of 2009, I started to paint and construct just anything to have something to add in my Art Exhibit. The process was an exhausting one; had I not the enthusiasm for it, the planned exhibit would have fizzled out long time ago.
The idea of an exhibit just came to me one day: I was painting the wall of my room, then, in a little while, when I saw my work, I said to myself, I better have an exhibit. Well, why not, I thought. I have various books; I can display them too. I was really turned on with the idea that I never relinquish it up to this day.
The first title I chose was "Facing My Nightmare" in memory of my shattered life. It sounds fine, but since my artwork has something to do or is connected with body and mind phenomenon, CELESTIAL CONSCIOUSNESS" is more appropriate to my artwork's message and theory.
Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary defines "celestial" as "of the sky or heaven." It doesn't mean that my artwork comes from the skies, or from alien source, but since the way I created my work doesn't require much imaginative process, this, I found to be quite strange. I often wonder where these images (my paintings) came from. Of course, the source is within me, in my mind. Celestial Consciousness, though, is derived from the very root of the reason why I have been engaged in painting and other projects for sometime now- it is the Extreme Peace of Mind I had discovered few years ago. In my experience, I was bathed in total bliss, a sensation I can't find where ever I would go in this planet. This was the culmination of a new life and a new endeavor for me - a very interesting one. Because of my experience's unearthliness, I alluded it to the heavenly spirit, hence, I got the phrase "Celestial Consciousness" for my Business name and Title for my Art Exhibit, in recognition of the existence of that Genuine Peace in us.
Visual images have powers to energize our senses and sensitize our consciousness to make us better aware of possibilities for better decision making. Especially, haphazardly arranged artwork that usually combines the attraction of beauty and the sense of mystery. Come and see my art exhibit and know what it is all about. I have posted some of my spontaneous paintings done in Microsoft Paint software at http://flickr.com/photos/dreamlikepainting/
. Doing computer painting using a simple graphic program like Microsoft Paint is not the convenient way to paint - too limited; nonetheless, they too look wholesome to me. There are sophisticated computer graphic softwares in the market, the problem, I don't have one yet. My work in brush painting is not included in flickr.com - you should better see them by visiting my Art Exhibit - I am truly surprised how I came up with them. Interestingly, they are not done in good materials - but just out of cartons and worn out wooden boards salvaged from the trash - this, however, has added a touch of uniqueness to the artwork. With the coming of funds, new paintings will be introduced soon.
Ever since the start of this project, I have always been fascinated with my work. This art exhibit will always remind me that we can always hew something of value out of the simplest of things - transforming Nothing to Something.
