RAGE / Oil on Canvas / Impressionism
Every life is a story. But for a creative person, or for a person of skill, talent and passion, that story gets bloody dramatic ALL THE TIME !! It turns life into a series of multiple stories.
Addiction, love, obsession, depression, high level performance, anxiety, energy shift, healing, breakdown, ecstasy, deathly melancholy, moods, you name it, and it is there, constantly whirling like a mad whirlpool ! And these crazy souls are sucked into one or the other whirlpool constantly.
WHY ?
As a sane and balanced individual you would justifiably ask the valid question, “Why on earth can’t you walk straight on a straight road, baby ?”
The “baby” looks into your eyes , shakes her head and closes the door, saying “I am a social recluse”. :D :D
Artists, Actors, Writers, Poets, Sports Talents, Composers, Reformers, Scientists, Researchers, Healers, Saints, Inventors, Philosophers, Thinkers, Witches, Wizards, Prophesiers - they are all in the realm of creative people who are bringing in new awareness, thoughts, and creations into this world.
They are MUTANTS ! 😎
They are the blessed souls who help the collective world consciousness to evolve into the next level of awareness and align with the Universe.
But their own personal life is fraught with turbulence and raging emotions and struggle.
A normal life with security, money, spouse, kids, fulfilled love, … are you joking ? )))) . They see this like a lovely movie in their neighbour’s life. 😄
Are they weird ? Mad? Aliens? … Perhaps all, perhaps none !
-Vincent cut his ear and created a masterpiece. He yearned for his love Eugene, battled depression and gave art world a new and dramatic genre of expression.
-Dante forever lived in the shadow of sorrow of his love for Beatrice , another man’s wife. His own life became an "Inferno" !
-Beethoven, in the sorrow of his unrequited love for the young Duchess, gave the world “Moonlight Sonata” !
-Joan of Arc was burnt at the stakes.
-Carl Jung died a lonely man in isolation
-Robert Downey Junior(actor), George Benson(ahtlete), Madonna(singer), Marilyn Monroe(actress) have all battled emotional rage & addiction. Some survived, some succumbed.
The list is endless.
There are some people amongst us, whose energy and awareness resonates at a much higher frequency. Their heightened frequency & awareness connects them to their Unconscious, making them extremely sensitive (not sentimental) and intuitive. It is impossible for them to not see, not hear or not feel.
They live by their instincts and follow the path of their heart. Hence experience every season, from spring to winter and bear every storm, a little bit harder.
Society cannot shackle or bind them. They are free souls that are only guided by love and a raging passion ! But the unfortunately, the unfeeling world drains them.
“ Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey.
Look out on a summer’s day.
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul….
.....How you suffered for your sanity
......How you tried to set them free.
.......They would not listen, they’re not listening still
Perhaps they never will”
(Don Mclean's Starry Starry Night on Vincent Van Gogh)
What is important to understand is that, Creation and High Intensity Performance are outpourings of Emotional intensity that flows like a Rage. It gives Focus of an Obsessive Energy. There is nothing casual or loose about this energy.
It is very attractive and magnetising to look from afar.
But very difficult to live with or be in.
Just like a stormy sea. It looks beautiful in pictures. Thrilling for a while. But scary to be in :).
Not for weak hearts. :)
My painting RAGE (oil on canvas) .
(Rage is not simply anger. Rage is uncontrolled emotional intensity).
“ It flows like a rage,
Crashing on the Rocks & Cliffs that are dead.
Beneath dark skies,
Waiting for a Dawn.”
