The Archetype of Beauty and the Mystery




The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein


This is a central purpose of all art, to act as a medium, to hold a mirror up that calls us to pay attention to
the world in a way we have not yet seen - as a mystery, as a path - art leads us to that door by awakening
awareness, by showing us things in a way we have not yet seen them, even if they are the most common
ordinary things....because it is not the 'things' but the way they are seen - that opens the doors of perception
and leads us into the Mystery called Life. amy

The above paintings are visionary, using sacred geometry and ancient symbolic arts.. used to
heal and focus ....see Alberto Amura's beautiful website below:
