    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”.

Visionary Art Life

Visionary Art Life

From the sacred corridors and mystical passageways
patterning our planet, the cosmos, and the imaginal worlds within us
there are visions of divine beauty and wonderous splendor
and from the sparks of these visions
shimmering reflections, lessons and guiding signs
that can help us along our path

In the spirit of divine creative play
Lila correspondent Delvin
is stationed in the CoSM media lab in upstate New York
helping to craft a conscious media vehicle for sharing sacred,
visionary and fantastic works with
a wider ring of the World Community

We are exciting to be able to feature visionary painters like
Anderson Debernardi, Robert Beer, Hanalisa Omer, Ingo Swann and Lowry
Burgess
and visionary thinkers like
Deepak Chopra, Grandmother Flordemayo, Graham Hancock, Jose Arguelles
and the Brothers Mckenna
amidst a huge selection of other artists and activists.

In order to make this new volume happen we need to raise basic
printing and design costs through space sponsorships
if you are inspired to participate
your support would be greatly appreciated in helping to activate this
global visionary media vehicle

as a special incentive for painters, digital artists, photographers,
sculptors, and glass blowers
along with galleries and arts organizations
we have created the ‘Cosmic Gallery’
a unique opportunity to share your work with a wider circle of the
World Community
this sponsored space is offered at 50% less cost than previously
and includes mailing participants a new Journal as soon as it is
released!

Designed like a regular spread of the Journal and not appearing like
an ‘advertisement’
the cosmic gallery already includes incredible work from around the
world include amazing visionaries like Brigid Marlin, Carey Thompson,
Lindy Kehoe, Chris Dyer, Ciaran Shaman, and Melissa Shemanna

You can see more details, sizes and prices which start at only $100 if
you follow this link :
http://www.cosm.org/media/cosm_j.html

the new volume will have both a hardcopy version distributed through
our global network
and an online version with clickable links that will help it to travel
through the global media streams
able to share your work with a wide web of art collectors,
aficionados, galleries, and arts organizations

We welcome you to join us in creating this art culture media vehicle
which we believe will help affirm, strengthen and promote your work
alongside our growing global community of visionary artists
to a wider ring of the World Community

every blessing
