Pablo Picasso was born in Spain. And lived in France for most of his adult life. He is a prolific artist with varied interests, his early naturalistic painting gave way to his famous modern art in his adult years. He is known for his ‘Artistic Versatility’ and also for painting from imagination. He is renowned for his unconventional & radical life & art and is influential for his development of Cubist style.
A few musings…
On Art & Acceptance
If Picasso was born in the east Perhaps he would have had it tougher to touch the height of success. For he was best born in the west And live in the heart of liberalism Where his technique was acknowledged and given wings. He passionately painted his spirits strokes in freedom.
The eastern world has always been more traditional Conservative & restrained in art and life Somewhere it took a long time Catching up with the possibilities of creativity Where chaos becomes art.
In chaos there is disorder But in disorder is the arising of new creative possibilities Envisioning in the unconventional a restructuring in the flow Every stroke of the brush or ink on paper Is indicative of thoughts and emotions in the brain behind the brush. Of the development of hand eye brain integration That creates art out of simply anything and everything. And then, there is the viewer critic and the art dealer who see hope & possibilities in both the artist & his art.
Art is born in the mind of the artist
Art channels itself in the flow
Art is honed in the perspectives of critique
But art is realised and enjoyed in the acceptance of a patron
In the bowing is a prayer answered
In the kneeling to the cosmic connects
Acknowledge the grace that’s revered
And the blessings that protects
Sense the touch of the angels around
Feel the flow of divinity in the haloed healing light abound…
Embrace the moments in silence and serenity.

Artwork Titled- ‘Blessings’ Painting by Savvy Raj
My painting ‘Blessings’, came to me almost as a flow… It spoke much to me as I brushed in serenity-of-silence with the colours it was as if it was meant to manifest itself and all along I sensed I was simply a channel.
Sharinge my earlier post again for this new year as it is a deeply meaningful excercise in Gratitude and Positivity to me.
The Gift of Life …
“When I was a little girl I often have witnessed my dear father see and give great value and acknowledge every little good that is or happens , however small they may seem to others. It could be a with a gentle word, a tiny appreciation or a little compliment. He taught me one of most important lesson for a lifetime… to notice, respect and reflect on the good in and around us… and to live positively and think of life always as Plus++++es .
Life is beautiful as it is and it is in us to see it so …”
Life is strange Strange is life Just like that Life turns around Difficult becomes easy Miseries come to an end Problems find a solution Trust in a deliverance Hope against hope Keep the faith Life finds a way
That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love. William Wordsworth
On Giving
Give the good you have Every time before the ask Consciously consistently Every time you do You create space within For more good to find its way in
In reality Giving from all of you Is much easier done than said For all you need is to be you Giving with all your heart Making it a regular practice Sensing true freedom in spirit Aligning you with the Universe A little more in every deed.
Creating anything Requires trustfulness Needs effort and focus And ability to adapt A willingness to attempt Acceptance of errors And perseverance to go on To the shifting perspectives In creative associations Adding curiousity of a child Of awe, wonder & joy.
To travel Can be about discovery Of the old in the new places Leading you to pathways That takes you back to your self
To travel Can be a sensing of serendipity. A feeling of dejavue A memorable journey Unexpectedly unto yourself.
To travel Can be to witness The stark reality of life Perhaps a jolt of reality Of places and people As they are in comparison to what was once imagination.
To travel Can be to learn and unlearn To connect us to this now With the truths of things In places we visit Know and unknown.
Keep traveling far and near to find yourself a little more every time.
Every day I write It’s been so for more than six years now I don’t plan on what to write I just put the words as they come But somehow from somewhere From deep within they flow Through me… And then one look at what I wrote I get the title immediately Many times the title comes first And I begin to write
And then I just happen to share with you all my readers Some of you engage with me all most daily
And I am so full of Gratitude for your presence here.
Thankful for your likes and comments You readers really make my day Especially when you leave a kind & thoughtful word. It’s truly special to see an old reader drop by chance and connect again It’s a wonderful feeling… When at the fag end of the day I sit to read your thoughts It makes me motivated to want to write some more.
Words are all I have To share with you I hope to share the best of them & I hope to read and learn from yours… And hope to stay connected With you in times to come For I believe to share is to learn some more…
