🎨 "A Place for Meditation" - original painting in acrylics

Meditation is not a play of imagination. Every form of image, word, symbol must come to an end for the flowering of meditation. The mind must lose its slavery to words and their reaction. Thought is time, and symbol, however ancient and significant, must lose its grip on thought.

-- Jiddu Krishnamurti's Notebook

A Place for Meditation, 2002

I never published this painting before. Actually I forgot about it because it's not in my catalogue of works - it was a wedding gift for my cousin. And this place actually exists in Slovakia.

Thanks for showing! I'd prefer to visit your painting, since the colors are much more intense than reality ;)

It's beautiful! I love it when you zoom in and can see how your painting has formed 😋

The cover image, I was impressed you take photos also. A photo of a heart shaped water canal. It’s a painting.. Of course your painting looks like a picture! Bravo, sir.

Beautiful sense of light. I love the dark shadow forms in foreground.

Incredibly great work! Dreamly place...
