This piece is called “Contemplation” and is based on the practise of cultivating interior silence.

In this practise, you imagine yourself to be sat on a river bank. The river represents your consciousness. Often, there is debris that floats on top of the river. This represents the flow of your thoughts.

As you observe these thoughts, resisting the temptation to take part in them, you sink deeper into your true self, the part of you that is more than your thoughts and your feelings. It takes time, and practice, but the benefits are huge. You realize that you are more than your creation. You find peace, but the kind of peace that helps you make sure and focused decisions that benefit others.

All of my best artwork comes from this place of stillness. My belief is that we can create beautiful lives for a place of stillness too.

Its so simple, yet so powerful.
