  Spirit Element: Water

  Water belongs to a series of 5 paintings in art-ma’s collection, each relating to one of the classical elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Space. This collection created by Ovidiu Kloska, is a compilation of abstract paintings, featuring heavy textures in rich colours, resulting in contemporary artwork that is both fascinating and dramatic.

  Water is a symbol of purity, fertility, life, motion, renewal, and transformation. Although the elements are significant across many cultures, in the Upanishad, an ancient scripture from Hinduism, it refers to the elements being used for spiritual growth.

  “From Atman (your inner self) did space come into being;
  from space, air; from air, fire;
  from fire, the waters; from the waters, the earth;
  from the earth, plants; from plants, food;
  and from food, man…”
  – Taittirīya Upaniṣhad

  In this painting the bright bold colours of different shades of light and dark blue and white, with the big brush strokes of Acrylic on canvas, create a beautiful piece of artwork in Kloska’s series of the five elements.

  Medicine Buddha

  In this painting you see, Italian artist Parama Libralesso depicts Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaisayaguru, as a symbol of the healing process.  It is that force that guide us in the awakening of the innate healing wisdom that is present in every individual. His meditative pose reminds us that we should look inwards to answer all the questions we ask.

  On a white lotus, inlaid with the sheet of the moon, the Buddha of Medicine sits.

  His healing body, a dark, transparent blue, is in a state of thorough transformation.  In his right hand he holds the plant of Haritaki in the “welcoming gesture” (varadamudrā), and in the left the healing nectar for all, mind, body and soul diseases.

  The butterflies symbolise the process, from voracious caterpillar to fluttering creatures able to elect the best nourishment, the pollen.  His irises are gold, his gaze looking beyond any illusory veil and judgement, healing all ailment. He is surrounded by the sacred plants of shamanic traditions, as incarnations of healing aspects of nature.

  The Medicine Buddha is here to heal all ailments regardless of their nature, this is the perfect time to bring Him into your home.

  Kalpavriksha – The wishing tree

  The Kalpavriksha is a wish fulfilling divine tree in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. It is said that the Kalpavriksha was one of the 14 things that came out of the Samudra Manthan – the churning of the ocean of milk, along with Kamadhenu, the divine cow that bestows all needs; the tree is also said to be the Milky Way.

  Indra (the king of the gods) returned with the Kalpavriksha to his abode in paradise and planted it there. Another myth says that the Kalpavriksha was located on earth and was transported to Indra’s abode after people started misusing it by wishing evil things

  Kalpavriksha is now said to be planted at Mount Meru in the middle of Indra’s five paradise gardens (devaloka). It is said therefore that there are as many as five Kalpavrikshas.

  In Buddhism a small wish granting tree is depicted decorating the upper part of the “long-life vase” held by “longevity deities” like Amitayus and Ushnishavijaya; the goddess Shramana devi holds jeweled branch of Kalpavriksha in her left hand.

  In this painting of the Kalpavriksha, the artist has created the wishing tree in a more contemporary style, sharing his vision of what this mystical tree of desires (maya) could look like.
