The creative force

What motivates and inspires my work is not religion. Sadly, nothing divides and separates humanity more than theological conceptions. Nevertheless, in me, and by reflection in my art, prevails a sense a connection to a creative force, call it God, Yahweh, Allah, Jehovah, Great Architect of the Universe, Superior Being or the name you choose.

From my point of view, they are one and the same, a benevolent force that demands no rites and requires no cathedral, synagogue nor mosque.

I believe that this creative force is present in everything, that is a spark of light that exists in each nucleus of each atom of each cell of everything what exists. Everything that surrounds us has a divine component and each one of us is a drop in the ocean of the divinity. We are spiritual beings, closely interconnected and part of All That Is. Every one is equally important and valuable because no one is more or less than anybody else.

This leads to me to understand that the well-being of the individual and the collectiveness are one and the same, for what is good for me, what really benefits me, is what is good and right for all. Manipulating, deceiving, mocking, or abusing someone else, in any way at all, is inflicting violence on one self. And above all, that Nature is part of the whole, it is our joint heritage and we cannot contaminate it nor deplete it without suffering the consequences.

You may think my reasoning is utopian or fantasy-filled. Yet the fact is our world is not as we were taught in grade school. For over a century the world has known what prestigious scientists of the stature of Bohm and Einstein discovered, and later carefully controlled tests verified: time is relative and the mind of the observer alters the object observed. In other words, our thoughts shape our reality, and that even includes our past reality.

As a civilization we are not yet able to assimilate these concepts, so radically opposed the objectivity paradigms which have governed the world until now: they shatter much of what we have learned to consider rational.

Neither have we been able to assume all the power lying within this new way of understanding reality, a limitless power that depends only on our capacity to imagine and create. I say this because thought is a form of energy -it vibrates in much the same way as light, color, sound and form- and energy is the fuel that gets everything in motion.

In our contradictory world of appearances, tuning in on higher frequencies -for example elevated thoughts such as optimism, love and harmony- has a liberating and rejuvenating effect, which leads to a constant celebration of our individuality and our interconnection with everything what it surrounds to us.

Art allows us to capture this energy, to shape it and to project it.

Through art we can capture energy and propel it forward.

This is my motivation: I hope to contribute a grain of sand towards peace, integrity and fairness, by touching sensible fibers, and bringing the best in each viewer, one person at a time.
