Hey people I finally had a couple of days of a nice long sleep. Feel refreshed and inspired.
How is our everyday life, what we think and experience? It becomes the world of our habits established when we were very young. We are not aware of that because all behaviour comes from automatic response system working its way from unconscious level of our being called main software data information system. Very old system established and maintained through our social and media interactions. That is why it’s called everyday life. What is extraordinary life? Is that something we experience and see as extraordinary, or other people have to tell us it is extraordinary. We have to decide and see it in the way we want to, believe in that idea and we will be surprised with unfolding of our life. It is called creative power. We always knew of this but automatic system embedded in our response database is giving us negative feedback every time we come across extraordinary creative ideas. Only people that perceive this response as a challenge break out of the claws of our false “destiny” and create willingly with love and “light” as passionate creators. Do not forget that passion and emotional involvement is crucial part of the project of building oneself towards greatness. If we believe in ourselves our feelings are employed as a passionate creative and inspirational energy. Greatness is not how others see us, it is a belief in our world of creative possibilities we carry in us.
If our will go the way of a dream and creative power, it is only a movement towards our true nature, who we really are. Our pure soul becomes little more open and visible to the world we interact with and that is actually goood thing! Through that kind of interaction world becomes more abundant with light, light of our blissful soul.
How you look at the painting depends on who you are, open yourself to new ideas and look for details with relaxed feeling. Art carries passion, magic, mysticism, inspiration in every stroke, detail, meaning… find those precious etheric messages every time you feel drawn to a particular art piece.

Everybody loves flowers and what about flowers in Venice? Nature made sure that this world is overloaded with beautiful imagery. Flowers take a big part in that “picture”.
Human mind works through pictures and it’s capable of producing images on its own. Everything created in one’s mind creates energy vibration of certain value. That vibration communicates with the world around us. If we imagine flowers or had even faint thought about them, we are bound to have experience about flowers in some form. Try that idea on your own right away: Do you remember if recently you had a thought, of any kind, about flowers? Your level of experience of flowers depends on how deep you went with creation in your mind. If you were detailed enough, sensed fragrance and texture of the petals, saw vivid colors and used all your senses coupled with the emotion, in your mind, then you will have same or similar flowers in your hands in very short period of time. If you had just faint thought about the flowers then one of the possible experiences will be seeing an image of the flowers on the website on the internet, like here. You are looking at the multimedia painting “Flowers in Venice” created in oil on canvas and acrylic ink and pen. NOW, because we are capable of producing images and emotions at will (free will, hmmm), apply this creative process in your mind (image) and heart (emotion) for everything in your life. Life is a play, so play with it!
With flowers,
Atza

For me, there is a special feeling associated with Lions Gate Bridge, that spans between Vancouver’s Stanley Park and North Shore. Open space, water bellow, mountains in the background, all bring feeling of elated state of being floating on air and being connected to the nature and life itself. I guess, we are usually confined to smaller environments, our home, office, shopping malls, even outside our view and energy is subdued by buildings, houses and we do not have to many chances to feel open space all around. Moving in the car or standing on the bridge makes you realize air and open space is bellow, above, sides, front and what happened, you start to feel it inside as well. Knowing that we are not confined by our body brings freedom and our sense of open space inside makes our soul spread all around as well. That is why I think we feel connected, because we really are. We are not our body, we are much more…

Well, dear friends, every day we live is a miracle. Why? Because we cannot avoid our own creation abilities. We create every moment of our lives whether we know it or not. We all usually create by default. Our habitual thoughts and believes run by the subconscious mind create same life over and over, until we consciously use our power the right way. Looking at the world through our heart and then choosing the thoughts and feelings consciously makes all the difference and the world becomes what we always dreamed of. I am choosing this words and I am choosing the sketch of “Horseshoe Bay #1″ to present here and that is my creative process…
Love,
Atza

This is Vancouver’s Steam Clock Painting. Perspective shows Starbucks on the right and North Vancouver and Seymour Mountain in the background in the middle, behind the Steam Clock. Scenes like this open a door inside my world towards the moments I am very present and aware. Scene become frozen and carry vibration that could be felt if you are sensitive and drawn to the art piece. Well, happy feeling…
Is beauty important in our life? I think it is!!! I realized few days ago when watching 25 years worth of photographs in slide show I assembled (Nadja’s and my anniversary) that some of my, highly acclaimed, interests towards beauty in life, art, design etc. were changed and watered down with all the extra information (I did not filter) I allowed to enter into my experience. Beauty is of course individual, personal experience that we should cherish and cultivate to be able to see it and enjoy it in our life. Beauty is everywhere, but when we see it and acknowledge the existence and our awareness of it, we bring more and more of beautiful scenes, people, art, etc. into our experience. We become abundant with inspiration for others as well, which is another beautiful purpose for existence…
So, to focus what you allow to enter into your life is very important. My advice is to choose well (You have the right!) and focus on beauty that tickles your heart.
Love,
Atza (Alexander V)
