Music of the Soul – Full Moon

29 December 2009, pencils, crayons and photo work

This is the last one of the 12 first paintings of the new series, which I called Images of Synthesis. I didn’t know that a rupture and a pause of nearly 2 months would come for some personal reason after having done this most thrilling painting.

At the beginning of the 90ies, I translated the book “Music of the Soul” by Master EK into German. This work put me into a state of rapture, and I experienced a touch of the music of Sri Krishna’s flute. I experienced this state again while painting this picture.

I took the picture of a classical painting of Lord Krishna with his peacock (on the left) and playing his flute on the banks of the river Yamuna. I transformed it and started painting, intensifying the colours, creating a vision-like ambiance. May the sound of Krishna’s flute vibrating through the colours transport you to the experience of His presence.
