VISIONARY ART Howard G. Charing BUCHAREST MAY 2014
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is
the mysterious – the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true
science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are
closed”.
Albert Einstein

SCIENCE OR ART • THERE IS AN UNDERLYING STRUCTURE
TO MATTER (AND CONSCIOUSNESS) THAT BOTH SCIENCE AND ART REVEAL TO US
• THIS STRUCTURE IS GEOMETRIC OR MATHEMATICAL

MEMORIES, DREAMS, REFLECTIONS – JUNG
"I sketched every morning in a notebook a small circular drawing,...which seemed to correspond to my inner situation at the time....Only gradually did I discover what the mandala really is...the Self, the wholeness of the personality, which if all goes well is harmonious."
TIBETAN SAND MANDALA

VISIONARY PLANTS

• THEY NEED TO BE RECOGNISED AS AN INFINITE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND ILLUMINATION FOR HUMANITY
• THE SO-CALLED ‘WAR ON DRUGS’ IS ACTUALLY A WAR ON OUR CONSCIOUSNESS!

ONDAS DE LA AYAHUASCA
Ayahuasca is one of the most remarkable gifts
from the plant realm as it contains chemicals identical to the neurotransmitters found in the human brain.
PABLO AMARINGO – LLULLO MACHACO
LLULLO MACHACO The concept expressed in this painting is that
however our life unfolds and whatever our destiny might be, we are all born in absolute perfection. We are innocent when we come into the world and have no guile or deceits.
A Little bit different than the notion of ‘Original Sin’?
