Self Connection 40x40 Acrylics on Wood Panel.



Would humans be more goodhearted people if one day they discover that we all, living and non-living things, are connected somehow? Would they change their harsh and envious life to a harmonious and humanitarian life, if they would discover that this material world is not their final doom, that there is a mystical place full of peace and harmony and that to transcend to that place they have to find the universal connection between all existed things and themselves?

I was captivated by the stories of wealthy people who had been living greatly an extravagant life, fulfilled with luxury and materialistic pleasures; yet, after having a Near Death Experience, they turned their unsympathetic way of living to a humble and more humanitarian life. There is thousands of Near Death Experience documented in the entire world. http://www.nderf.org/.These people are from different genre, different culture, different language, different background, different physical appearance and different religions and ideals; however, there is one thing they all have in common, they all have drastically changed their way of living after facing a near death experience.

I don’t know exactly why it happens or how it happens, I just feel that there is something in our subconscious mind that makes us see incredible things that are ambiguous and vague for our consciousness. In this painting I portrayed myself surrounding with all living things. The connection that exists between the universe and all living and non living things is fascinating. Once, we were nothing more than star’s dust, then, with the mighty power of our creator, we came to be a bacteria, and millions of year later, the entire earth flourished with life and different types of species, amphibian, reptiles, birds, incept, mammals, plants and fishes. They are all connected by the same substances that make them to transcend time, distance and boundaries. Those substances are oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, calcium and phosphorus. These are the same components from which the planets, stars, galaxies and the infinity universe are made. Moreover, the eternal cycles and the continuous changes of all things, make me wonder that our existence in this life share a common purpose, the purpose of existing and leaving a remarkable story behind. Once I was, now I am, tomorrow I will be gone.

Perception of Reality, 48X48 Oil on canvas




Perception of Reality: what we human perceive sometimes is nothing more that abstract and vague objects. Sometimes is very difficult to understand what the mind cannot see but can perceive. For instance, the 4 ultimate laws that control the entire universe, Electromagnetism, Gravity, Strong Nuclear Force, and Weak Nuclear Force, are indeed invisible but without them, nothing will exist. These four laws are unperceivable to the naked eyes; yet, they are in charge of making everything that support life in the planet earth. For example, without Gravity, our planet will not exist. It will be like a white ball in a pool table, striking from one place to another, crashing into the first planet it encounters, or wondering around in the infinite universe.
