Rya Oshpiz
Rya Oshpiz is a visionary artist creating a world of inner perspective of emotional intelligence which is coming into being in humanity to make the world a better place to live in. This creative vision has nothing to do with mysticism or spiritual mystery of imagination.
The vision began in 1987, when the First Intifada began in the burning of the Carmel Forests, Rya made a request to paint out of inner peace and happiness and not out of second generation Holocaust survivors trauma.
"In His Being", marked her tone into Visionary Art. We are one. We have the same body, soul, spirit, the same organs, we breath the same air, we don't belong to any religion, race or sex. The ballance in our being is straight forward – ISRAEL = Yeshar El = JACOB = The Central Axis of the Sephirot // Spheres. The Sphere of Love. Tiferet.
The Expressionism of Inner Truth, created into amorphic images of Rya's feelings, move as they wish from the earth's dimension into other dimensions that are responsible to transmute emotionally and intelligently as one. The images flow through the golden mean of Figurative, Geometric forms, Triangles, Circles and Square grids. The use of Kabala, geometrics and alternate consciousness, make an access code to a different kind of intuition. The Alchemy of Color through the use of primary colors –RED, Yellow and BLUE, material into endless experiments of color that try to express life, flow , motion, circulation harmoniously with the four elements of EARTH, WATER, FIRE and AIR.
In every touch of matter, there is an attempt to bring the gist into demonstration. Landscapes, fauna flora, figurative images, become the language of dance – body, spirit and soul. This language does not consist Duality .It flows in the search of inner peace and creates an inner sense of pleasantness, serenity and confidence. Before each painting, Rya enters a state of Alfa, peace and quiet. The logic mind, the heart and the emotions have to flow together in harmony. The idea is not to control the substance in art, but to let the substance flow intuitively so that creation is formed from the inner truth. In putting the spirit into matter allows the touch of love on each observer.
Forgiveness, release of victimization, enable the everlasting motion toward happiness and life.
