What is an Intuitive Artist? What is Intuitive Art?
When I paint, I meditate. Intuitive art is the process of creating art using inner awareness. It is heart centered and does not rely on analysis, thoughts or techniques. It is a way of experiencing and being fully engulfed in the present moment, connecting with my intuition, inner voice, creative flow and with my life force.
I always begin by energetically clearing my work space with a candle, incense or palo santo. I set the mood by burning a candle and putting on some ethereal, world or meditation music. My phone is always on airplane mode and I always work alone.
Before I begin to paint, I set my intentions for my creative process and for my painting. I release my need to control or know what the painting will be about. I trust the creative process, my creative process, and open myself up to endless possibilities.
Sometimes I caress the canvas with a special essential oil or with a spoken prayer. I then commune with colors, hues, water, forms, textures and space. I honor the process and give thanks for being in the universal flow of life. If for some reason I am unable to connect with ´´all that is´´ and find myself not fully in the present moment, I stop and recenter before I continue.
I am still and allow the process to unfold naturally, effortlessly and magically. It is truly a mystical experience. Sometimes I can´t quite explain how the painting came into being as I am fully absorbed in the flow of the present moment.
When I am finished, I give thanks for the transcendent experience. While I wash the brushes and empty the water, I close the portal of a particular creative process, knowing I can return and re-open the sacred space at any time.
