23.01.2022 Embodiment practice with @siyan.astles really links and brings out unconscious archetypes and symbols onto canvas. I painted the main form of this one without really looking at what I was doing. My main intent was to create a back drop before painting a representational portrait of me as a dragon. I suppose I drew a dragon eating it's tail....the ourobourus! Dragons have been a theme to my work, emerging as the way of transformation. As I understand that the dragon isn't to be slayed on the labrynth walk (as myth may suggest)...the obstacle or shadow is often the way. Using this energy I saw the egg at the centre of my being and felt my way inside it, moving inside my love and nurturance and emerging once more outside of it to be the dragon! The endless spiral of love and enlightenment that can always be accessed within.
23.01.2022 "The so called civilised man has forgotten the trickster. He remembers him only figuratively and metaphorically and when irritated by his own ineptitudes speaks of fate playing tricks on him and things being bewitched. He never suspects that his hidden shadow whos dangerous qualities exceeds his wildest dreams." C.G.Jung Humour, mischief, role playing, embarrassment and falling flat on your face are just some ways the trickster may emerge from our primitive unconscious to dis...rupt the ego's strong hold. Being connected to the light side of our beastly nature can transcend us to look at something from a different perspective. Like any archetypal force the powerful trickster has both light and dark qualities and comes in many forms (the ultimate shapeshifter). As we see with comedians for example, any horrific event can be made light of in a way that supports the love for humanity instead of condemning it and pushing our dark nature back into the shadows. #oilpainting #trickster #jester #joker #thejoker #fantasyart #visionaryart #archetypes #jung #colourfulpainting #nudefigure #nudeart #portraitart #artistsoninstagram #artist #painter #facemask #thefool #originalpainting #oilpaints #painting

21.01.2022 "Yoni Fire Ritual" now available with other paintings of mine at https://bluethumb.com.au/deanne-ja/Artwork/yoni-fire-ritual "The more playful and joyful we permit ourself to be, the more exuberant our original self will be as our companion. In our solitary dreams and wanderings, griefs and ecstasies, if we seek inward and allow our original self to be present, being alone will lose it's sting" Peter London in his inspiring book "No More Second Hand Art". All you need to be is your Self! #oilpainting #fire #yoni #ritual #magic #redtent #cycles #moonlight #yingyang #femalepower #knowthyself #nudeart #nudefemale
20.01.2022 She dances inside the raging golden fire, Moving with grace and ease in the purifying flames. As the fire is in constant movement so is she, Forever turning like the earth she steps on, Waxing and waning like the moon, ... Turning inward then outward, Getting lost in the darkness only to bathe in the light again. The breathe of life that feeds the flames of consciousness is ever present, The expansion is all made possible because she embraces both light and dark of herself. #oilpainting #consciousness #archetypes #fire #flames #alchemy #expressiveart #lightanddark #lightanddarkpainting #yinandyang #femalenude #figurativeart #nude #nudeart #symbology #symbolicart #visionaryart #dancer #femaledancing #moonlight #fullmoon #painting #paintingforsale #jungian #jung #art #artist #spiritualart #divinefeminine #artistsoninstagram #yoni #yonifire

11.01.2022 Second stage of life painting. The woman reminded me of Gaugin's Tahitian female subjects so I coloured the background to reflect his colour scheme. Anyone's thoughts on what it means to paint nudes these days? It's interesting how much artist's confine themselves to keep up with the political arena. "Misbehave with integrity" -(Clarrisa Pinkola Estes) does seem like an appropriate compromise....so we continue to push boundaries whilst remaining faithful to our intentions. #classicalpainting #greatsmasters #gaugin #tahitian #oilpainting #lifemodel #lifedrawing #painting #femalenude #drapery #complementarycolours

10.01.2022 Painted from pure imagination with little thought until some imagery began appearing.... then I assist them in shining forth more. What does your unconscious project onto this artwork? For me it's a bird/dragon extended from a yellow figure behind a raining tree. There's a tunnel in the background and a white alien just chilling bottom left. #intuitiveart #lineart #visionaryart #expressiveart #abstractart #abstract #figurativeart #art #artist #artforsale #oilpainting #painting #artistsofinstagram #jungian #consciousart
09.01.2022 The more we know ourselves the more fulfilment and freedom we can experience in our lives. To go beyond the ego of what we think we are to a deep inner knowing is what will sustain us through our days. To know our joys, our strengths and blind spots, our uniqueness, way of being and true desires is all possible by creating artwork with conscious intent and curiosity. We never stop this journey of learning so why not begin now by consciously stepping on the spiral and embracing the unknown within yourself. My art is now for sale on Bluethumb under Deanne Koopelian.

07.01.2022 The more I've persistently explored my Self in my art the more I've seen the archetypal energies, symbols and themes that make up my inner life. Yes we have outward experiences and daily activities, but it is what is behind all those actions and masks that we present to the world that truly matters. Why does it matter? I've seen by first hand experience people who have turned away from their feelings, their projections, their desires, their inner voice and ultimately their Se...lves. This only creates duality, disconnect and destruction. Self with a capital S because it is everything that you are. Think about that. EVERYTHING. Your experiences are dictated by what's inside of you. I tried living a life of action and the way I thought I should live but my body and mind would not allow me. This year has been all about collecting, connecting and integrating hidden parts of my Self to truly feel, think and act from my greatest desires as well as accept and let go of what is not true to my Self. When we have played by someone else's rules then how do we know if we really desire a particular thing? Maybe it was an introjection or desire coming from the ego or wounded part of ourselves. The themes and visions that shift slightly but come from the same space inside of me show me more of who I really am and what I must do to continue growing and living authentically. Wouldn't you love to see even fragments of your true Self on canvas? Wouldn't you like to know what it means to be a soul inside a body? #artworkshops #alchemy #selftransformation #soulart #spiritualart #portrait #visionaryart #colourfulpainting #watercolour #surrealart

02.01.2022 I find the most soul-fulfilling art is made when we trust in the joy of the process, putting our critic aside to create our magical vision. #artistprocess #artistpractice #smallsculpture #shells #shellsculpture #coralsculpture #coral #plastercast #foundobjectsculpture #sealife #thelittlemermaid #atlantis #shellhouse #maquette #sculpture #sebastianthecrab #naturemodel #underthesea #mermaids #underwaterworld #miniworld
