What exactly is "Painting from Another Dimension"?

 

If you have visited my studio or my online gallery, you may wonder: Painting from another dimension?  What does it mean? 

          A few days ago, a visitor to my website was puzzled and asked:  "This art is not from out there.   It’s not different. Where is the art from out there you talk about?" Out where?  Heaven? Space ship? Deep Space Nine?   Of course not.

I am painting here, in my little studio on earth. I do not paint Angels or aliens or any religious prophecy or science fantasy.  Instead, I paint the shape, color, value and texture I see on land and in water. I am trying to call people's attention to beauty in this world.

Einstein's universe is 4 dimensional. In some modern physicists' universe, there are 11 dimensions. Most people, however, only experience and understand three dimensional space. Several years ago, I began to have extraordinary experiences, which carried me to a new dimension I had never dreamed of before and  have changed my perception of the universe and my understanding of consciousness. I did not visit heaven, see the white light, or talk to aliens. I simply traveled more than 7000 miles to visit my hometown and saw things, which later were verified, while dreaming in the bed.

After that dream, when I closed my eyes, sometimes I saw images as if there were a TV screen inside my forehead. I did not see religious figures or ETs, but breathtaking scenery and beautiful flowers and animals.

To me, Another Dimension is the dimension I am in when I am dreaming or in trance,  

When I am not confined by this 3D physical space,

When I am totally free of trivial things or daily stress or ego or fear,

When my brain is supercharged and set on the fontal lobes mode,

When my perception is crystal clear, when I can see the image in my head.

Painting From Another Dimension means painting the images from my dream, in my head spontaneously, trusting my intuition and without thinking.

Painting From Another Dimension means total freedom in creation:

There is no limit as to what to paint.  I do not have to limit my subject to one kind of landscape or portrait or still life.

There is no limit as to how to paint. I am not following any particular movement, ancient or modern, nor searching for a formula or mechanical procedure to follow. Instead, I am learning from all masters, past, present and future. I am continuously experiment, explore and invent.

There is no limit as to what medium to use. Ink? Silk dye? Why not? Coffee? Tea?  Soy Sauce? Why not?

There is no limit as to what surface to paint on. Glass? Plexiglas? Acetate sheet?  Why not? Rice paper? Silk? Why not? Transparency Film? Why not?

There is no limit as to what painting tool to use. Palette Knife? Why not? Dinner Knife? Spoon? Fork? Why not? Wood sticks? Twigs? Why not?

Painting From Another Dimension means painting as yourself, from your heart and true to your soul. I sell paintings, but I am NOT painting for sale. I do not make commercial art, even though I know that's the market wants. I am not interested in "wall paper paintings", even though I know they sell well.

I love to share my paintings, which carry my vision, energy and emotion, with other, but I am NOT paint to please others. I paint what I like. If you happen to like it, great! If you don't, so what?  We simply have different tastes. There are millions of other paintings you may enjoy.

Each of my paintings is made with my signature knife marks or brush strokes which no one else has exactly the same on this earth. My painting process is so spontaneous and messy and so different each time that it is impossible to copy my painting exactly. If you have a painting of mine, it would be the only one exactly like that in the whole world.

I see life as a continuum of learning, exploring, creating and sharing. Inspired by great masters like Rembrandt, Monet, Matisse and many others, who never stopped leaning and experimenting during their painting career,  I spend most of my time studying, drawing, experimenting and exploring. I actually paint only when I am in the flow, or in another dimension.
