    Odd Nerdrum - Twin Mothers

    The Man with the Golden Coin

    By Oleg Korolev

    The artist cannot realize that the problem is in the art system, which still acts as a hidden tool of the Cultural war, passing off a genuine Soviet-style of the “Planning economics” as the “Free market” of Capitalism.

    New works by Oleg Korolev – Alchemy of Rurik

    By Oleg Korolev

    In general the Slavonic native religions have a lot in common with the rest of the Indo-European spiritual traditions and have a direct connection to Vedanta. A Russian word Veda (t’) means “to know” or just a “knowledge”, “awareness”, came from Sanskrit.

    Lila has charted the contemporary visionary and sacred art movement by talking directly to those involved. Explore the themes, motifs, inspirations and approaches to creativity found in visionary art.

    Visionary Arts: What Vision? by Gaia Orion

    The artist’s life may seem to be unfolding like an archetypal legend where dreams and events are interwoven in a perfect dance. The core of these visions is an ordered and centered life with intentions of understanding and integrity. The visionary art that comes from this base is what we also call “contemporary sacred art”.

Feminine Mysticism in Art

Jun 5, 2008 admin in News No Comments Tags: divine feminine, goddess

New Paradigm Publishing Presents Feminine Mysticism in Art: Artists Envisioning the Divine

“The DVD is an epic collaborative effort—one that has the potential to go
down in history as a “must have” book and DVD for art lovers and mystics from an assortment of spiritual traditions.”

Sasha Butterfly

This colorful and inspirational dvd expose of transcendental art synchronized to uplifting music is a stunning collaboration of artworks by over fifty contemporary visionary artists from an assortment of spiritual traditions. The purpose of the DVD is to not only document a genre of art referred to as feminine mysticism, but also to reveal powerful images of the Divine in his/her myriad forms. Feminine Mysticism is a spiritual movement devoted to the re-enchantment of the feminine face of God, which has been lost to many westerners, but is beginning to resurface in various ways. The core artistic mission is to cultivate an awareness of the Great Goddess so that we can move into a new mode of consciousness, a symbiotic union between the masculine and feminine aspects within the human psyche and society at large. However, before this shift in consciousness can occur, the awakening of the Divine Feminine needs to occur on a massive level, which is why it is crucial to get as many images as possible into the public’s view at this time.

Some of the contributing visual artists are Martina Hoffman, Maura Holden, Mark Henson, Daniel Mirante, Amoraea Dreamseed, Daniel Holeman, Paul Heussenstamm, Blaze Warrender, Mariela de la Paz, Francene Hart, Victoria Christian, Hrana Janto, Suzanne Deveuve and several other mind blowing transcendental artists.

The musicians include Sasha Butterfly, Elijah and the Band of Light, Kan’ Nal, Montana Soul, Heather Noel, Duane Light and Susan Garret and Nancy Bloom.

Victoria Christianis a mystical artist, writer, sociologist and eco-feminist. She holds undergraduate and Masters degrees in sociology, with an emphasis in women’s spirituality, the sociology of art and social theory. She is the head editor as well as a contributing writer and artist in her upcoming book, Feminine Mysticism in Art: Artists Envisioning the Divine. She is also in the midst of writing her life’s work titled Women Artists and Identity Formation in a Postmodern Society.
