The Revelation of the Painter
6/V 2004
That one who has devoted himself doesn’t have an astronomical night or day…
A wild blowing of wind can destroy the currency of a thought.
The smell of lily of the valley is the morning of inspiration, a huge charge of future harmonies…
If thinking deeply into the word “INSPIRATION” one will realize its great giving ability. Sometimes it even pours out over the edge.
An unknown world: the pure- bred cat’s eyes; feeling of heaviness of tiny stones, gathered by the sea, in your pocket; a childish photo of a whole-hearted person; handmade napkins made by your granny… everything fills!..
It’s impossible to loose time – a white canvas is waiting for You!
It throws the door open to the world of Your harmony, of Your just the moment’s subject, of Your goodness! Whatever can give the glitter to the moment, minute, year, than a soft touch of your brush while creating the treatment of light and shade of a woman’s face!
The miracle of Your opening the door into Your own Space is the meditative and intuitional action, underpainting of Your future painting.
The miracle of the ending of Your work is the harmonization of the painted. These two miracles can be realized only in a flight!
The skill, the knowledge of Art Laws work upon chiaroscuro meaning, filling with energy, creation of mood: playing with colour. Pleasure for eyes lies between two miracles…
The Space of the canvas is Your basical world, and its fundament is the Divine Nature.
It is necessary for the Artist to understand clearly the matter that gives him the highest satisfaction and to present it to the spectator.
The average man doesn’t notice the versatility, the deepness and the great volume of Nature. Open this Mystery to him!
Magical deeds that help the Artist are:
1.preparation of the flower of Iris (Blueflag);
2.ritual preparations of canvas;
3.surrounding himself with the witnesses of Nature coming from different places;
4.imagination of the finished painting from the inner side;
5.special listening to the prompts;
6.clearing the space of the master’s shop;
7.meditative walk inside the substance of Arts!
Oh, yow great should the filling with light be inside You that You wish to pour this light upon canvas!
How solemn You should start the ritual of painting!
The more enlightened and wiser the state of the Artist is, the more perfect is the thing done by him…
The act of transmission of the Spirit’s knowledge to the visual object needs the concourse of favourable circumstances.
It’s either the way You have prayed your Space, and the absence of worldly vanity and the previous seeing of the finished canvas from the inner sight and the expected delight of the skilled implementation and the top of realization of Your rightness.
The spectator should believe that means the Artist should be highly sincere!
Reverence –that is the state of the Artist! Coincidence with the state of the present, capacity to realize every important moment and be imbued with it.
You are the man with untraditional way of thinking, the one who can notice the things that are impossible to be noticed by others.
But there is a danger for You to leave the Natural phenomena in their primordial way of going. Nature is the fundament without which not a single flight of fancy can be proved.
In our world all the forms and phenomena have been already fixed, so don’t go far from the point of view that seems to the most of them unattractive and not beautiful.
As an example: a bouquet of tender roses-buds painted not with a brush but with your own hand and a piece of cloth can tell the spectator about an unusual cloud of pink fragrance and about fragileness of the Universe.
And now, as to the Mystery and Secret… The canvas done in an unknown way appeals to see it again and again. It captures the spectator and invites him for common creation.
It is important to describe the minimum of the mane things out of the world of subjects, entourage has been prompted by association, the presence of magic of the steps over the painting – is similar to the spider’s web according to the Laws of Intuition!
We are listening to the sound of Space, to everything that is worth our attention. We apprehend three dimensionally, we watch, smell, feel, identify with ourselves. It is necessary to turn into an animal, a leaf, a cloud, a shell… And to get rid of habits it is useful to turn into some other person.
The Art of Painting in the life time of one person…
It is necessary to be very purposeful to keep the line of development of the movement to the beauty in description following deeply inside, towards the quality. Very often a strong wish to turn to other forms of Art and to realize them skin-deeply appears. Don’t try to hide yourself behind the proverb: “The talented person is talented in many areas”.
It is necessary to have breaks to cast a glance to You yourself as if from another person and then to turn to a new circuit of quality in Art.
Habit can be either useful or harmful. It is useful as a number of training acquirements but it is bad if speaking about the depression of Spirit.
Input into the canvas all the best: the Sun light, the smell of the church incense, calming, space belief in God…

So, how to become an Artist?
Train yourself to watch the inner world of subjects and visions since your childhood. Teach yourself to admire, to be happy, to be surprised by the world structure that can be seen by eyes.
When You are full – the time to share the inner harmony inside You will come.
There is such an expression “delighted spirit”… Try to keep it through Your whole life accumulating the delight, pour it to the harmony and beauty. Learn the skill to describe the world beauty. In this case You will have to work hard during a long period till Your hand will obey any motion of Your mind and Spirit. You are thinking – Your hand is realizing. You are shining from inside out – Your hand is painting the light. You are meditating – Your hand is weaving its artistic tissue.
Your task in Art is spreading and materialization of the delight in front of the world beauty. The highest aim is inspiration of people; discovering their creative potential, offering them enter the country of the Divine beauty.
Here, the “Temperature of the Spirit”, especially energy, being non indifferent are very important. One can keep all these valuable features during the whole life only with the help of movement ahead to make Yourself more perfect.
Put Your tasks and follow them strictly. Example: To surprise the experienced French people by Your personal exhibition, or to create canvas 70 x100 and while painting not to loose energy but to receive it!
It seems unreal?! But the one who follows the road will cover it. Do put difficult even unrealizable tasks and go up to the tops! Try to do Your best in rising up! Improve the quality of Your life and lives of close to You people!
What can one genious painting do in a huge flat about 300 metres? It can become an icon for people living there. It can keep dark ill energy away! It can make its owner himself an Artist !
It is not an easy thing to touch the souls of spectators, but try! Ask God for help! Be the conductor of the Saint Spirit! Make Your life a sacrifice to that reason!
Ask me who I am…
If You are ready to change the reality so You can change Yourself and conversely…
In the 7-th class of the secondary school children, who study Russian literature, learn the meter of a poem, such as “iambic verse”,”trochee”, etc. It is usually accompanied by the poetry of Alexander Pushkin. As a home-task students have to compose a poem, using “iambus”, similar to Pushkin’s. It’s rather strange, but the best poems are often written by weak students. As a result this task makes those students write poems during their grown up lives. So, Pushkin is a stream of light who lit new talants! Now You, try to become such a stream of light for other people! Learn from Leonardo da Vinci, Tizian, Ver Meer, Velasquez, Serov, Vrubel…
