    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”.

Interview with Amanda Sage : Painter of Revolution

The painting is titled ‘ANA-SUROMAI’ which quite literally means ‘to lift the skirt’ derived from the Greek language. This painting is an outcry, an ultimatum, a visual denouncement of the system that has brought our world to a state of chaos with an ever widening gap between those that make decisions and those that are subject to those decisions.

Amanda Sage – Portraits to Infinite Possibilities

The art of Amanda Sage portrays in great style both the ‘everyday’ and multidimensional aspect of humanness in harmonious balance. Her skills in portraiture serve as the scaffolding for transpersonal energies and realms, depicted in a manner containing both energetic depth and strongly contemporary resonance.
