Kanagawa Biennial World Children's Art Exhibition in Japan

I'm stunned by beautiful children paintings while browsing through winning entries of Kanagawa Biennial World Children's Art Exhibition in Japan. By the way winner of the latest year (16th Exhibition) is a 6-years old Czech boy Oldřich Poul from Nový Jičín. Congratulations! :-)

Could gorillas practice zazen?

While beeing practicing 'just sitting' I'm becoming a bit more down-to-earth. Sick of a lot of my idealised paintings of spiritual concepts I wanted to make a next painting more realistic. Inspired by the inital scene of Baraka movie where monkey enjoys natural hot springs I pictured couple of resting apes. Well, the result is actually not entirely realistic. However. The male of semi-gorilla eating an apricot is just eating an apricot. Note a dead bird and annoying flies.

Seven heads

Once I've experienced directly existence of my feet. And then I experienced directly that also other parts of my body do exist without dependence on thinking. This painting was done after a drawing expressing in an artistic way that direct experience of independence. By the way I did not paint seven heads as stated in title which are placed in man's body on the original drawing (symbol of own thinking). Why is the final picture so sweet and full of "spiritual" stuff like blooms levitating in space? Don't ask me, it's just a sweet painting. :-)
