Chakra Series
A painting series that uses my most colorful palette in years and a reaction to the grim Blood Falls-Dark Matters paintings, with a positive affirmation of spirit and color. Their origin comes from decades of personal meditation and attunements using the chakra colors to balance the seven energy nodes of the subtle body, which are aligned along the axial channel of the body. These colors also represent the visible spectrum (e.g., the rainbow colors) with specific attributes/functions for each of the seven chakras, from root to crown. Many different Eastern spiritual and healing traditions believe that imbalances in the chakras can lead to physical and mental problems.
