Light is born (2017) 絵画 Purusha Geelen - Van De Graaf によって

"From childhood, I paint, write and model. In 1978 I had the choice to study art at the ‘Rietveld Academie’ Art Academy in Amsterdam or to follow a study becoming a welfare worker. I choose the last one and finished it positively in 1984. However, after a few years of working experience, my passion was too strong. I founded an art gallery in 1989 and since 1992 I sell and exhibit my own work in the art gallery ‘Peace in Design’. 

My way of living ánd working originates from the path I followed from 1983 to 1993, the path of Advaita Vedanta: the ‘non-dualistic path beyond knowledge’. About this path, I give lectures and write articles."
