Abstract textured acrylic painting on canvas 100x100x2 cm (39,4 x39,4 x 0,8 inches). Mixed Media on gallery wrapped canvas. The work is ready to hang. No framing required. The sides of the work are painted. The artwork is signed, dated and titled. Original artwork with signed Certificate of Authenticity. My artworks are a result of years of studying spiritual books written by Eckhart Tolle. Eckhart Tolle, a spiritual teacher and author, often uses flowers as a metaphor for living in the present moment, which is a central concept in his philosophy. He notes that a flower doesn't think about the past or the future; it simply exists in the present moment, fully expressing its beauty and essence. By observing and appreciating a flower, we can learn to live more fully in the present moment and experience the beauty of life around us. In Tolle's view, flowers can also remind us of the interconnectedness of all things. A flower is not separate from its environment; it relies on the sun, the soil, and other elements to grow and thrive. Similarly, we are not separate from the world around us; we are part of a larger interconnected web of life. By recognizing this interconnectedness, we can develop a greater sense of empathy and compassion for all living beings. Overall, flowers can serve as a powerful symbol and reminder of important concepts in art and spirituality. Whether we are admiring a beautiful flower in a painting or contemplating the lessons that flowers can teach us, they can help us connect with the beauty and interconnectedness of the world around us. I would like to invite you to immerse yourselves in a colorful yet calm world of impasto colors full of meditative floral magic. Style: My technique shows some influence from abstract expressionism and modern art. I use original mixed media in which undiluted acrylic paint, ink, gel medium and structure paste are applied to the canvas. I like to paint impasto abstract paintings...

Abstract textured acrylic painting on canvas, measuring 100x100x2 cm (39.4 x 39.4 x 0.8 inches). This mixed-media piece on a gallery-wrapped canvas is ready to hang, with no framing required. The sides of the artwork are meticulously painted. The piece is signed, dated, and titled, accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. Drawing inspiration from years of studying spiritual teachings by Eckhart Tolle, this artwork, titled "It's Still Summer" invites you into a world of serene impasto colors, rich with meditative floral enchantment. Influenced by abstract expressionism and modern art, my technique involves using undiluted acrylic paint, ink, gel medium, and structure paste, applied with spatulas, tubes, and fruit knives to create three-dimensional flowers and surfaces. The lapis lazuli background hosts a captivating arrangement of roses. Eckhart Tolle's philosophy, often conveyed through flower metaphors, echoes in this artwork. Flowers symbolize living in the present moment, free from the burdens of the past or the anxieties of the future. They remind us of our interconnectedness with the world, urging empathy and compassion. I invite you to explore this vibrant and tranquil piece, where the essence of summer persists in a timeless, floral dance. Style: Abstract impressionism with a touch of modern art, using impasto techniques to craft three-dimensional floral elements on a lapis lazuli background.
