Visit Mandalas By Rampal
|
I
was born a creative child, but showed little
interest in drawing or painting. My parents who met at an
art gallery sustained hope that I would follow in the footsteps
of my talented aunt, noted for her lovely landscapes. However,
I had other worlds to explore before discovering the beautiful
and sensuous meditative art of Asia and Tibet, as well as
the work of Carl Jung, the eminent Swiss psychologist and
artist, who introduced the "personal mandala" to
the western world. Here was art with power, passion and purpose,
the art of self-realization and enlightenment, an art form
that caught my imagination and gave my life focus!
As
I picked up my brush and began to paint, I became caught
up
in my own transformation as artist and healer. I expressed
this metamorphosis on canvas through Tantric symbolism
depicting
the sacred union of our inner masculine (method) and feminine
(wisdom) principles. The mystical "yab yum" (literally
father mother) is often mistaken to represent human
sexuality,
but instead graphically portrays
the inner wholeness or balance we must first achieve
to realize our highest human potential. This message is most
relevant today. I love both painting and explaining the meaning
of my mandalas to receptive audiences.
