Mind-Lama
10 of 10 Editions Available
When ever we encounter profound things, we are often also reminded of the universal underlying comedy of it all.
VESA's Mirrors series asks those kinds of questions that Rorschach test images do. What do you see in them? The artist saw a mandala and a lama. You see what you see. There is no wrong or right way.
There can also be an element to it that goes beyond the mind.
The work is made via mixing up painting, photography and photoshop in a method the artist started doing in 2008, resulting in digital originals & large resolution files

”Vesa’s art is amongst the most integrally advanced in the history of Western abstraction – no small claim, but one backed up by the works themselves. Rather than abstraction as a fleeing from life, his works are a diving into the incarnate mystery of human being — direct celebrations of the fullness of Life.”
