Only Sacred Love is real.
Every pursuit in most modern lives is an attempt of chasing that forgotten primal state. Being in love with an entire world, including being deeply in love with yourself.
If you dive deeper, you will see that everything you ever wanted was to grasp that feeling. Being loved so irrevocably that nothing else would matter. Not even death.
The quest of my life is to express that state of Sacred Love through painting. Through landscapes of infinite perfection. Through water and its mystical qualities. Through exploring the ancient myths of cultures that I live among on my travels.
The question is: in modern fast-changing world where nothing seems to be held sacred anymore how do we return to that natural state? What can bring the experience, the sensation of Sacred Love into your daily life?
My answer is…painting. Making a painting - as meditation. Viewing a painting - as a powerful reminder of what you have known all along. You don't have to chase anything. Sacred Love is here, in your every breath, in every drop of light. You are in it, and you are it. Everything else is an illusion.
Only Sacred Love is real.
"I want that love that moved the mountains.
I want that love that split the ocean.
I want that love that made the winds tremble.
I want that love that roared like thunder.
I want that love that will raise the dead.
I want that love that lifts us to ecstasy.
I want that love that is the silence of eternity."
