Artist Interview
1. What inspired you to become a multi talented artist?
I am inspired by the increasing potentials that digital media
offers for individual expression. I started off making layered music
with a dos shell based program called impulse tracker about 14 years
ago. A few years ago I started making visual art as a compliment to
the music. My primary aim has been spiritual. Today’s society does
not have many outlets for one to investigate and experiment with the
subtle terrains of consciousness exploration and expansion. I never
really identified myself as an artist but simply used the label as an
excuse to explain to others why I am spending hours alone in deep
concentration.
2. What do you experience in the creative process?
Silence.
3. What is the main message of your art?
Emptiness is form. Form is emptiness. Relax, and be blissful.
4. What made you create video art
with an enlightened master? Is there a message for us?
I believe the recorded teachings of an enlightened master have a
certain power over us. This will one day be scientifically verified
by closely analyzing the sound patterns of their voice. My aim was to
use the field of art to create space for the teachings of an
enlightened master to enter into myself and others more deeply.
5. What made you among so many enlightened masters choose
Paramahamsa Nithyananda for your video art?
Paramahamsa Nithyananda has totally given himself up to the divine
and has totally given himself to the world as an avatar. The divine
is evolving on this planet and he is the most complete reflection of
this evolution. Synthesizing his teachings with digital media and
spreading them across the global web is one more step in this
evolution.
6. What inspires you to become a better
artist?
The possibility of emptying myself completely and in the process
finding ultimate fulfillment.
7. Seeing the number of your creations I don’t think you
experience it but just in case, how do you prevent artist’s block?
By sitting in the woods.
8. How do you market your artwork?
I mostly just share it freely online.
9. What else is there that you’d like to share with our
readers?
True spiritual art is the potentially dangerous exploration into
the hidden layers of consciousness. It is an alchemical process that
involves not just paint and pigment but the finer parts of the soul.
Each work is a death that brings one face to face with the base
elements that compose their being. Rendering oneself in such a way is
the best preparation for receiving the real touch stone which is the
touch of a living enlightened master.
