..On Creating.
I create because I am alive. .
In creating, I reveal the unseen and the unheard. . The living mystery beyond form, present in the everyday, felt before it is understood. .
In creating, I remember what I am. . Beyond appearance. Beneath conditioning. . Being a living mystery. .
My art begins with deep seeing. . My poetry begins with deep listening. . I work through attunement clear perception deep sensing and wonderment.
Sometimes I begin with a particular focus. Sometimes I follow what emerges from within. . Either way, I rarely know beforehand what a work will become.
Painting and writing arise intuitively and playfully, without a predetermined outcome. .
Within the creative process, . I am at once . the muse and the artist, the oracle and the witness. . Inspiration and creation. Revelation and recognition. .
Traditionally, the muse is someone outside the artist – who inspires the work. . For me, it is different. . The muse is the soul. The unseen. The living mystery.
The soul as essence. What we are beyond form. . The muse as beauty. Essence taking form. . The mystery as aliveness. Life, in its infinite unfolding. . The muse is not someone I seek. . It is a world I enter. A soul I encounter. A mystery I live. . This is where Zielsmuze begins. .
My process unfolds in cycles of creation, stillness, wonder and revelation. .
The remembrance arises through colours, symbols, words, silence, and encounter. .
My work does not seek . its plays with perception, mystifies the ordinary, aMuses with beauty, reveals the unseen, awakens wonder and vivifies essence. . My work gives form to what quietly reveals itself beneath the surface of things. . Art as a mirror, poetry as a whisper, mystery as homecoming. .
I work with mixed materials: . ink, watercolour, acrylics, pencil, gold leaf, organic elements and textile-based textures. .
Every work is unique. . Even within editions, each piece carries a handwritten line, symbol or mark. .
