| Dhyāna:Meditation |
Dhyāna (Sanskrit) : “contemplation, reflection” and “abstract meditation”
The Dhyāna: Meditation series is a meditative exploration of the basic elements of art: line and color. The line, the primary building block, sets the tone of the series’ simple yet powerful compositions: a single line framed within a square or rectangle. The compositions lend an architectural feel to the series, wherein the viewer is invited to meditate on its main structural element -the line- which is exposed in its true form.
These architectural compositions set the stage to reflect on another fundamental element of the series– color. Color is used to shape light, value, texture and space; and draw the viewer to contemplate on its elusive quality and power to transform one’s state of mind. Together, the basic elements of line and color, provide the viewer a platform for reflection, contemplation, and a continuous flow of perception. In other words, Dhyāna: Meditation.
