Art of Enlightenment

Art is a uniquely human expression.

Through art we communicate our most subtle perceptions, and give structure and order to the woels we percive around us.

While the forms art represents are dreawn from our natural surroundings, the structure we give them reflects the structure of our mind.

Arising from mind and conditioned by mind, art is a mirror of our consciousness.
