I love the opportunity to expand my perspectives, to learn from the painting and others that I admire. This is the second half of ‘The Temple’, a collaborative painting with my friend @shrineon . Our styles are drastically different and we love that. We’ve had the opportunity to work on paintings in various parts of the world together, the largest being a big mural at the Boom Festival 2014 in Portugal. This piece has been hanging in my studio for a decade and somehow it was time to finally complete it. Maybe it had to do with listening to the incredible book ‘The Immortality Key - the secret history of the religion with no name’ by Brian C. Muraresku, which I very much recommend. The temple is a place we deem sacred, and it comes in many forms. This temple transcends time and reminds me of something ancient and forgotten… as well as something to come. There is a mystery inside and I look forward to continuing to ponder what that is. For me, it has taught me to slow down… that the miracle is in the details if we take the time to really see. The painting is viewable at @peaceyogagallery in downtown Los Angeles. If you are interested in acquiring the original please send a DM - the majority of the funds will go to supporting the new non-profit project ‘Highway Sanctuary’ in Joshua Tree.
