Solar Plexus
“Manipura (Lustrous Gem)” -2009
(oil on canvas) 24"x24"
Through my interest in spirituality and sacred geometry I began to study the chakras of the body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means, "wheel." Eastern philosophy believes that we have seven energy generators inside the body that spin like a wheel and determine our overall sense of self and health. If a chakra is producing too much energy we become excessive in certain aspects of our self. If a chakra is spinning with little energy than we become deficient in a certain aspect of our self. Our overall state of mind, health and everyday life is somehow affected by the "spinning" of the energy that is created inside of us. Each chakra has it's own color and vibration. Each of which is represented with a different color of the rainbow. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and finally violet. ROYGBIV!
The third chakra is located in the solar plexus. The purpose of this chakra is to embrace empowerment and transformation without diminishing others. Its color is yellow. The third chakra allows us to see our actions and there effects on us as an individual. A well-balanced third chakra will allow the self to be able to take on challenges, follow through on tasks, and confront opposition effectively rather than reacting with retaliation.
To create something unique and also functional I have incorporated crystals into the painting that are known to work with the third chakra and help bring balance to it. This idea has turned the artwork into a three-dimensional tool to bring beauty, balance and energy to the viewer! The crystals that I used for this painting are Aragonite, Citrine, Rhutilated Quartz, Pyrite, Tiger's Eye and Unakite.
