Intuitive Art Diaries 7: The Painting Portal and Light Being
Hi everybody,
If you enjoy the blooms, sounds and colors of late Spring and early Summer then I have a real treat for you. I'm happy to present you my newest intuitive painting Portal and Light Being. It is done with watercolors on 300g/m2 watercolor paper. The image came to me in a purely intuitive manner and is filled with visual symbolic language. I'm excited to share with you how I read it.

The Buddha and the Lotus Flower in Intuitive Painting
Hi everybody,
Buddhism is a lovely theme to explore in intuitive art. It offers so many possibilities to work with joy, peace and compassion.
At the end of 2014 I completed the intuitive painting Reflections of a Buddha Meditating by Night. I worked with watercolors on 300g/m2 watercolor paper. The idea was inspired by a graceful motif that previously appeared in my work. The color palette is cool and the figure is sitting on a lotus leaf while the surrounding flowers are closed for the night. I intended to convey peace of mind.

Sylphs as Light-Beings in Intuitive Art
Hi everybody,
Have you ever heard about sylphs? I did some research on the matter and I found out that they could be considered a particular type of fairy. Their element is air and their being is therefore usually ethereal in appearance. The sylphs I created are light-beings and are like the reflections of the rainbow. They are enlightened, clairvoyant and have insight in the workings of the universe. The rays on their forehead represent a fully developed third eye. I believe sylphs are messengers of love, hope and peace.

The sheets are rather small in size, all measuring 24 cm by 17 cm or 9.4" by 6.7". I used a watercolor pad from the brand Hahnemühle with different weights and surfaces. The particulars are indicated on the back of each sheet.

About the Intuitive Painting Series: Healing Watercolors I
Hi everybody,
Let me tell you the story behind my intuitive painting series Healing Watercolors. It was created spontaneously in 2012 in a purely intuitive manner. During my introductory meditation I actively asked a question concerning healing in the holistic sense of the word to the cosmic source I believe is guiding my intuitive work. Positive Change and Indigo Child described in a former blog post, is the first piece of the series and is the only one made on a 22 cm by 26,5 cm watercolor paper. The others except for one are created on 24 cm by 17 cm watercolor paper with different weights and textures of the brand Hahnemühle with its specifics printed on the back. The series includes nine works in total, all made in watercolors and all depicting a light-being. Following are the second to the fifth paintings.

Intuitive Art Diaries 6: The Drawing Echoes of Atlantis
Hi everybody,
Echoes of Atlantis is the third piece in my not yet named intuitive drawing series. The symbolic language of the drawing and the sensation that came to me while I was working on it reminded me of the lost world of Atlantis.

Intuitive Art Diaries 5: The Drawing Light, Love and Peace
Hi everybody,
Light, Love and Peace is the second drawing in my yet to be named intuitive drawing series. It is made with colored pencils on beautiful A4 drawing paper that I particularly like because it is rather heavy (180g/m2), acid-free and has some texture. I worked in a purely intuitive manner. This means that I started out without concepts, sketches, studies or designs. I did not make any conscious decisions along the way but just let it happen. Every time I started to judge about what I was doing I took a short break. I thought it would be fun to record the proces in order to show you how it works.

Intuitive Art Diaries 4: How to Relieve Creative Block
Hi everybody,
It occurs now and again that I feel overwhelmed with the good thing, so much that I get creatively blocked. Then, I even find myself unable to make intuitive art. Last spring for example caused everything to bloom and the light to change. The imagery was absolutely inspiring. I could see potential in the smallest bud and the widest landscape. As always I was also working on an art course because I find it important to keep challenging myself. In the same respect I like to look up other artists whom I admire in order to analyze what they do and how they create. I am also continuously educating myself in creative entrepreneurship. It happened that all of this input inspired me so much that I felt pulled in a billion directions. There were all these techniques that I wanted to try out, all the subject matter that I wanted to explore, all the color combinations that fascinated me, all the surface treatment that looked intriguing, ... all these possibilities. Then it dawned on me: "Is a lifetime long enough to get it all done and if it is, where to start?". Before I knew it I was swimming in ideas, wonderful imagery and unable to create plus feeling rushed. Then I thought about the saying "One cannot have too much of the good thing" and that made perfect sense to me.

When Mermaids Appear in Intuitive Drawing and Painting
Hi everybody,
Little Mermaid and Sunny Day is the first intuitive painting I completed at the beginning of 2015. She is reminding us of summer and beautiful weather. I painted her with watercolors on 300g/m2 watercolor paper.

Mermaids have always spoken to my imagination. Occasionally they come and visit me in my work. Here they always stand for love, compassion, hope and mysticism. When considering the idea that what appears in my intuitive art is guided by a cosmic source, it is reasonable to assume that they are light-beings.

Intuitive Art Diaries 2: The Drawing Traveling through Life
Hi everybody,
Last year I have started a series of intuitive drawings. Traveling through Life is the first work that gave me the idea for creating more with the same approach. As always I first took the time to quiet my mind and then just let it happen. I picked colored pencils as my medium and beautiful drawing paper as my surface and got started.
