Making  abstracts is child's play, very often heard this statement , usually from people who do not know about art, beauty and aesthetics, and do not even try to  understand this. Today breaking this myth and writing this post with more than two decades of painting art obsessively abstracts, spiritual, symbolic and raw calligraphy artworks. With art taking its place in every home today people are opening up to the concept of bringing beauty in their home, their hearts and their lives. Original hand made abstract paintings are affordable and bring so much unique energy, abstracts are beautiful, they speak their own language and have a different story to tell every viewer!

While abstract painting has to do more with art styles,  painting techniques and selection of colors people often wonder why artists choose to make abstract art, when they have so many options, like nature floral painting, landscape painting, still life, cubism geometric , fantasy, pop art, portraits etc. which sell faster and also bring good price. Some people say abstracts is a very easy way, just put some paints on canvas and you get an artwork.

 Painting abstracts  is no child's play it is much much more than the blob of  color you see or the strokes made on the layering of paint on the vast whiteness of the canvas. Here a few  randomly selected abstract symbolic paintings done on paper using oil paints.

Total symbolic spiritual abstracts painted in year 2001 till a few years I have immensely enjoyed making this first step towards abstraction. So while I loved the flow of positive energy in these abstract artworks the collection just went on and on till approximately 250 abstract spiritual works on paper!  The freedom to choose color, the freedom to lay color  right from the tubes, the twisting and turning of paper, and emergence of beauty, an abstract art. 

As  I notice the collection today these seem an connection with hidden shapes, hidden symbols,  colorful energy vibrations . Now the works have much more focus and refined works ,  think my art has gone the other way from abstraction towards form. The journey so far has been enriching and have enjoyed every piece of making art.

 It is the abandon of all barriers which allows the artist total freedom to paint. Some artists meditate and then imagine the forms and then begin painting abstract. Then there are some who try out different painting styles and techniques, the layering as in color field painting, the use of objects, stamping, use of sponge, use of geometric instruments and in fact just about any way to make a new original piece of art, what we call, abstract art. Scribbling is art, lines are art, object painting, stamping is art, scratching paints is art, there are immense possibilities  in abstract art, leading to a temporary halt,  result,  a beautiful work of abstract art.

 The difference between a child's art and an evolved artists' abstract art, is the choice, selection, thought  processes, and emotions behind the use of color, technique and making of an abstract art painting. Some artists paint listening to music, some inspired by poems, songs, books paint abstract symbolic art as an expression extension of this  ideas and emotions.

One thing I agree is common between child's art and an evolved artists art, the abandon  , freedom of painting, this is the same, an abstract artist very often regresses to the original true nature of every human being , that is innocence, love and compassion, which is visible in their abstract symbolic spiritual art. While a child paints for personal happiness so does the abstract artist make art, I also say.. I actually make art for myself, because the abandon and joy,  not bothering about whether they sell or not,  the sequence of the color flow, the choice of colors, or the end result, it is the process, the journey that is enjoyable and here the destination is not important.

While a child who does not know that a circle has to be perfect round, a square has to have even four corners,  an abstract artist after studying, practicing so much art and having knowledge , evolved so much in life experiences, has to come to terms with total abandon, erase the information learned,  and paint these beautiful sacred shapes, with pure innocence. Feng shuii has each shape corresponding to an element. the square for earth, the wood for rectangle and wavy for water, triangle for fire. 

Artists choose to make abstract art after evolving, after practicing , after breaking free from the physical forms and then leading towards abstraction. There is a lot of hard work involved before reaching this spiritual enlightened stage. As our eyes view abstract paintings each one tries to find out meanings, interpret that abstract painting, and believe me  it is always different, for different viewers, that's the magic of abstract art.

Abstract artists evolve within as they keep painting abstract paintings for their life. The artworks that fetch millions of dollars are from artists who have given their life for art! When an art appreciator  says I would give my life for painting like that ,the artist says ..I actually have!! Shared only very few of the thousands of artworks I did since past two decades. To reach somewhere deeper within and yet continuing making art...

There is immense symbolism in every abstract canvas. Each tells its own unique story to every viewer. One sees a rose while other sees a fairy, some see war and some see peace, there are lines that connect to your soul taking the viewer into another world, a world created by them, each one their own. Yes, your personal background experiences do influence the way you see art. Every viewer will tell some thing new on looking at your abstract painting. I am always awestruck by the responses of art viewers!

Two Blue birds of Happiness Reiki painting

Have you noticed two people in love, they may not speak much but every one around them can feel the energy vibes. As I continue to clutter free my studio and so many paintings done on paper have to be repainted, retouched, organized and those not saleable have to be torn and burnt. As I see love symbol paintings of early years that had darker colours and nothing specific in them, the vibes are vintage. today the colours are much brighter as using acrylic paints, there is specific energy of pure love, pure healing, pure soul perk. This example I am taking to help you understand how the mantra love is in the air means. When you feel the energy flow just by smell, symbol, sight, visual image ,person or thing, place, food etc and this brings you a surge of love energy, such is the term love is in the air. 

It also happens that we attach certain feelings to certain objects and things that bring nostalgia every time we touch or hold them. These are gifts or objects that bring love energy every time even after many many years. This is energy attachment. Thousands of thoughts move at speed our brain catches only very few. We have to be mindful to catch the good ones, hence the meditation and affirmations practices help here. So fast is the energy moving in your environment that you are not even aware of your hidden super powers and people waste away their lives living a mediocre life with deep regrets. 

Every object will catch energy of the giver, user and gifter. If it is good this will keep benefitting you even after the person has left or even died. This is also relevant for you to understand why you sometimes feel negative energy or some objects bring arguments in your home and fights even after those people have left or even died. Purifying these negative energy things or letting them go gracefully is good for your life. 

How to experience this? Love is in the Air , add Some Beautiful Love symbol feng shuii Paintings, some red roses, and all things in pink bring out a beautiful energy of love. It can be sensed from far away and this is what we all experience when we like some one. We feel the energy love waves in the environment and when we see two people walking hand in hand in love their aura can be sensed from far away as connected. This can also happen with unknown people when in a crowd you feel drawn to some one or in a gathering or maybe just passing by on a road. Lets see how the energy works here.

Each chakra has chords or threads that connect to the other person thing. We make an instant connection with even some one unknown when we send out love chords and if the other person also feels the same it connects. If the opposite person has had bad experiences from past relationships of love like parents, mother, siblings, friends etc,  or is not well at peace then they do not trust anyone and they repel. 

They may immediately take away their chords and turn towards themselves that is you feel the energy of being pushed away, and you move away.

What happens with two people in love? they send out love chords from the heart chakra to the other person and the opposite one reciprocates with the same intensity of love and they connect. This beautiful connection then makes to exchange and accept their two energies as one. That's why we often say two hearts one soul. The energy from two auras merges together and flows as one, hence when one is sad the other feels the same. And happiness is expressed together. We have heard since ages, the better half and terms like soul mates, this explains how the energy connects and how this goes on till their spiritual journey completes.

What happens when the chords are damaged? misunderstanding, quarrels, arguments happen if they couple in love have damaged these love chords. From external sources or from each one not being able to handle the energy of the other. Symbols and healing energy helps to heal relationships and a good healer will first balance the individual energy chords of relevant chakras and then connect them to the other. The individual with damaged chords of heart chakra needs healing to accept themselves and begin sharing and accepting love.

The Reiki symbol Harth a beautiful symbol that brings about balance and develops self love and compassion.

There is another very beautiful higher level reiki symbol I usually use in artworks symbolizing love energy is The Male Female Balance. This is a pure symbol that helps to develop and balance the Yin and Yang in our energy and that of the other. Like there is love so also is passion, but in a healthy way. 

Love has to be in a healthy energy form that supports and nourishes the other ones soul. The passing by love waves are just felt for a moment and then moved on. For long term relationships the person connect and may converse an thus begin a beautiful love relationship that goes on for years or maybe if all works out great, a life time.

Love a beautiful emotion, but some have never experienced. For the singles, Ages go by trying out to work a relationship but with no results sometimes the simple feng shui of your home and bedroom can open new doors to invite marital luck and the true love of your life. Feng shui and healing art with symbols attract the specific type of energy that is lacking in your life. 

For finding great soul mate, twin flame, partner friend try feng shui.

1) Check your bedroom, are there symbols of love or loneliness? a single side table, a single table lamp and a single flower vase all indicate the energy of one. 

2) Have you considered putting two pillows on your bed. Yes in feng shui we assume that if you want this type of energy, a partner in life, then make space for two. Two pillows on your bed is the best beginning to invite love energy.

3) Feng shui element theory can work wonders to your life if done correctly. South west is the sector for relationships, activate this with crystals and pink color objects. North west too needs to be activated as this is the sector for helpful friends energy thus attracting supporting helpful friends in your life. South west has Yin energy and North West is Yang, so specific feng shui cures are required to attract that particular type of energy that is Male(Yang)  or female (Yin). 

4) Balance the bedroom feng shui on top priority basis if you wish to attract marital luck, true love,  and find your soul mate.

5) Hanging healing art in your bedroom with specific intentions already does this and begins the process of harmonizing your life chi. Thus specific people who may turn out great partners or soul mates in the long run. Art when hung in proper directions brings out best results faster. 

Hope this helps!
