Shakuhachi freestyle


Jan Karpíšek: Shakuhachi freestyle, acryl on canvas, 135x160 cm, 2008

Original painting by Jan Karpíšek "Shakuhachi freestyle" shows miscellaneous beings floating on the ocean of world, the islands of Gold shines afar, we're breathing into shakuhachi flutes, somebody's even drowning, but bodhisattva is skating on water with a skate of water he himself made of water as well. Painting looks unfinished but author said: FINISHED! and rather demonstrates that mind creates judgements and criteria than shows a perfectly completed picture. aum :)

Original painting by Jan Karpíšek "Whose hand and the rest in flowing of time?" shows a being in the world of phenomenons who is entangled in the same substance he is made of. We see his blood and flesh and thoughts. Well, whose hand is that, grandpa?

Arunachala


Jan Karpíšek: Arunachala, acryl on canvas, 95x105 cm, 2008

Original painting by Jan Karpíšek "Arunachala" refers to the holy mountain in south India, by which Sri Ramana Maharshi lived. Arunachala mountain represents Shiva, terminator of illusion that we are bodies and minds. Shiva is a master of all yogis, holy Lord and the most inner Self, except Him nothing exists and ever existed. Aum Tat Sat :) Even the tears of suffering pumpkins originated in the most Firm Mountain! Be aware that you're not a craving pumpkin! :) More about Sri Arunachala.
