BUDDHA THE UNFAWLESS

This is the second in a series of works about the search for the Higher Self within oneself - "Everyone has their own Buddha"
I painted it as a kind of art therapy painting, conducted pictorial meditation, and I received the image of Buddha soaring in harmonious meditation in a tropical forest. Buddha's hands are folded in certain signs - mudras.
Mudra is a special, symbolic arrangement of the hands, with the help of which a person can control energy within and around him.
Gestures have become part of many sacred rituals and mysteries, transmitting information hidden from the uninitiated from sage to sage, creating a rich canvas of cryptography. Such well-known gestures, defined in Sanskrit as mudras, have been used for centuries as tools to change consciousness. Mudras, actually expressed as specific finger positions, create directional energy flows and have precise meanings.

This is not surprising, because hands are one of the main tools for human interaction with the world.
Mudras can never harm, they cannot create an excess flow of energy in the body. Mudras only normalize the flow of prana, acting like a thermostat.
Buddha's hands folded in Abhaya Mudra
A gesture of fearlessness or blessing represents protection, peace, benevolence, and dispelling fear.
The word "Abhaya" is translated "without fear." It follows from this that the meaning of this gesture is:
• Fearlessness,
• Decisiveness,
• Fearlessness,
• Gaining protection,
• Benevolence.
If a person feels that clouds are gathering over him, and anxiety and fear begins to overcome him, doing Abhaya will save him from fear, anxiety and will contribute to establishing better contact with others.
When the practitioner looks at the deity chosen for meditation, whose hand is in the Abhaya position, he can be sure that the deity will give him protection.
While this painting is in my house and is waiting for a new owner, I constantly smile when passing by, or suddenly hold my gaze, in a moment of anxiety, and emotions immediately release me.
There is so much radiant energy in it and at the same time, pacification. Buddha constantly reminds me of magic yoga for the fingers!

Painting technique - multi-layer optical gaps.
Colors literally "light up" from a ray of the sun. The painting changes depending on the lighting, when the light hits at a certain angle, the lower layers begin to glow.

Hi, I am Arina Markevich - a professional artist and designer.

I've been designing clothes for 20 years, but for the last few years, I'm having a serious passion for painting.

I am interested in studying the processes of transformation of the spirit and soul, the areas of sacred spaces and the structure of worlds, knowledge about the nature of Time, the Cosmos and the very essence of being.

I cannot do without creation. It will allow me to express on canvas all the amazing discoveries in the field of metaphysics, cosmogony and other mysteries that I am starting to discover step by step.

Now, I attribute the direction in which I work to metaphysical painting, but I also make extensive use of vivid symbols and images, trying to catch a fleeting "understanding" of the miracle of creation, and the essence of the game that is called Life.

My canvases are quest paintings, game paintings, book paintings, metaphors, road signs for all searching minds.

I want to engage the viewer into the dialogue, thinking, in to the search for the clue. Maybe you could understand my plan, and maybe you will find your own, completely individual deep sense.

I needed an interesting technology of painting, to embody the ideas that literally appear in my imagination, with precision to the smallest detail.

I paint with the technique of optical lumen. Studying the properties of paints and pigments, their ability to reflect light, the order of application and layering of pure spectral colors, allowed me to get the effect I needed. Deep iridescent colors that literally light up when hit by a sunbeam!

I think I can find an architect with whom we can create an amazing space, with a surprise, and a kind of show-performance, in a single house. After all, if you calculate the passage of the sun and the location of the windows on the sides of the world, you can just get a "WOW" effect from the reviving fiery colors.

I have been painting my works for quite a long time, working on several paintings at the same time. This is required by the technology, the layers must dry out. But I even like it, because an invisible connection is established between me and the painting, which is being powered and grows up every day. Time allows you to think about every step, and to anticipate what the canvas itself will tell you.

I hope you will feel all the energy and love that is invested in every stroke of my brush stroke!

I expect to do a lot, because I'm just at the start of my way!
