The Painting Mirrors the Artist’s
Inner Being
Through the painting of an artist, the artist’s inner Self
is revealed. From Her very first experiment in the oil
painting, “Song of the Sea,” natural perfection is evident
in Supreme Master Ching Hai’s unique and effortless style.
“I think everything that God created, even a piece of a pebble,
is perfect in its own way.” To Her, everything inside and
outside from Heaven to Earth can be the object of depiction
- be it a store house, a few old books, the sun, the rain,
the stones, the clouds or sky. |
Appreciation
of Master Ching Hai's Painting
|
In the beginning of the new Millenium, Supreme Master
Ching Hai went on a sacred retreat lasting several
years. After She came out of the retreat, She picked
up the painting brush again in 2006, changing Her
signature to Celest. This latest collection covers
15 pieces of the new series, including “Ash the
Chain” and “Summer.” The new style is so
exquisite and refined that each stroke and line
represents the very essence of perfect Nature. These
new pieces are like “Blessed Fruits” that
shower us from above. The book also includes a powerful
huge painting called “The Battle between Yin
and Yang” (1995).
Upon the earnest request of the public, this new
version is now being released. The layout, which
is sequenced according to years, allows viewers
to journey through time, space and the world of
the paintings; and to share the relaxation of a
wise sage, the beauty and depth of a poet as well
as the sensitivity and freedom of a nomad. Just
like the lunar halo in “Peaceful Time” is
too expansive to be framed, these paintings have
a quality that goes beyond any limitation, shining
boundlessly and constantly as the Moon.
We welcome you to enjoy the paintings of Supreme
Master Ching Hai. You will be deeply touched by
the intense affection, childlike innocence and motherly
love of the liberated One. |
The new version
of the Painting Series has a better layout and easier
carrying convenience. |
