Simply put and as I experience it, mystic visionary art is art that comes from heightened states of consciousness; it expresses or pursues a conscious awareness of divinity and truth. For me these heightened states usually include different modes of meditation, dream work, introspection, insight, exaltation, inspiration… channeled by intuition and a sense of being guided from beyond; a sense of letting go and stepping in the flow. Experiencing mystic visionary art at different levels –inc...

I may be writing a more detailed article about this sometime in the future, wherever that is. Do check back!

There are various things to consider when answering this question, for example: inspiration, vision, embarking on the path of creation, finding the flow within the path, and using technique. While some of these are still a mystery to me, I will outline some of the more tangible parts of my process, which is always and of course subject to change.

Most of my mandalas usually start out w...

This is a question that pops up very often, as some of my artwork may seem to include fractals or fractal-like patterns.  There's a few reasons for this. Fractals are naturally-occurring at both macro-cosmic and micro-cosmic levels; they can be found everywhere in nature. They are particularly noticeable in snowflakes, the growth of vegetation, the swirls that come up when mixing milk and coffee, and in the way crystals, clouds, mountains, and galaxies grow and develop, among others. There ar...

I don’t have a clear, definite answer for this… and if I did, where would all the fun go? Actually, if such an answer existed, I doubt that verbal communication would suffice to articulate it… But not trying to articulate is also avoiding the fun.

Each mandala carries with it a multitude of different meanings, while at the same time, each mandala hints at some sort of ‘essential truth’. Mystics and sages from different backgrounds and time periods have coincided: the truth that ca...

I would be honored to create artwork for you, your loved ones, and/or your living, working, and sacred spaces. I can also create custom mandalas to serve as cures and enhancers for Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra. Please write to d (at) cosmicsensorium [dot] com and tell me about what you would like. (Do format the email address as you would normally.)

First off, not all of my pieces are necessarily mandalas. I guess that in part it depends on your outlook on life. And on how we define mandala. Here is a quick overview, and here is a full article, part 1 of a series that will continue to grow.

Our prints are so wonderful for a few simple reasons. First, you need a high-quality image to achieve a high-quality print. Also, we adhere to the highest printing standards available today. We only use a Giclée printing system which is commonly found in museums and fine art galleries, even for our open edition prints. This printing system combines the new Ultra-Chrome K3 pigmented inkset from Epson, with Epson's Enhanced Matte heavy weight archival paper. This combination yields highly sat...

Let’s put it this way… So far, in my waking life during this lifetime, I have not attended art school or art classes for photography, painting, graphic design, digital design, and/or related disciplines. I did take your standard arts and crafts classes in grade school and junior high. Before then, I also took like 3 weeks of singing lessons I can hardly remember. When in college, I joined a theater group for about 4 years, and then sometime later enrolled in a 2 year program in method act...
