about the work

Beauty Shot is a digital collage, in the style of my Iconics series.

Amidst a layered, painterly composition bathed in shades of pale pink, emerge the words of an Italian esoteric author, Salvatore Brizzi, regarding an awakening of consciousness:

“A un certo punto deve avvenire il collasso della mente e l’ingresso in uno stato di coscienza non ordinario, dove la Verità circa l’Universo è immediatamente realizzabile ma non comunicabile, se non attraverso l’atto artistico.”

“At a certain point, what must occur is a collapse of the mind and an entry into a non-ordinary state of consciousness, where the Truth about the Universe is immediately realized, yet not communicable – if not through art.”

While the concept that Beauty (artistic beauty) is Truth (and Truth, Beauty) has been expressed throughout time by philosophers, poets and artists, the idea felt new when I read it in Italian, in the context of sublimating the mind in deference to a spiritual, intuitive awareness. I love that the surprise that this deeply internal process can be affected externally exclusively through art.
