WHEN I WAS WHITE

Virtual vernissage

Watch the Exhibition Opening

Every painting tells a story: discover what happened when I painted in a blizzard, when the wind appeared to speak to me or when a Russian security guard told me to stop painting. Thanks to the technical problems, the show opening resembled painting in one these locations. My response demonstrates how to handle it. I have taken the liberty of adding high quality photos of each the paintings so you can see them and resisted the temptation to sanitize the technical problems so we can all learn from the experience.

Inspired by a poem

The name of this exhibition was inspired by this poem by philosopher and mystic, Meister Eckhart:

When I was the stream, when I was the

forest, when I was still the field,

when I was every hoof, foot,

fin and wing, when I

was the sky

itself,

no one ever asked me did I have a purpose, no one ever

wondered was there anything I might need,

for there was nothing

I could not

love.

It was when I left all we once were that

the agony began, the fear and questions came,

and I wept, I wept. And tears

I had never known

before.

So I returned to the river, I returned to

the mountains. I asked for their hand in marriage again,

I begged—I begged to wed every object

and creature,

and when they accepted,

God was ever present in my arms.

And He did not say,

“Where have you

been?”

For then I knew my soul—every soul—

has always held

Him.

Step into another dimension and immerse yourself in art.

See where the pieces were painted

From a lake in front of Mount Fuji to Mont Blanc, from the Russian Caucasus to the Matterhorn,
each painting was painted in a different time and a different place.

A DOORWAY TO ANOTHER DIMENSION

Imagine having your own doorway to a greater force at home or in your office

Over the last forty years, I have explored the limits of creation—I have painted in a tropical storm in the Caribbean, a blizzard in The Alps, gale force winds on a beach in The Philippines, a tumultuous lake in front of Mount Fuji and at -10°C on top of a ridge in the Russian Caucasus.

Creating at these extremes, I discovered when I stop resisting the environment, it stops resisting me. In this moment, I am no longer separate from it, whatever you call it… I am it and I can influence any aspect of it.

You can become the Creator of your world too.

If this resonates, and you'd like to own one of my paintings, let's talk so I can guide you in choosing the right one for you.

Each painting has a home

My paintings have been exhibited in Tesla, Google and Mother, one of the most innovative advertising agencies in the world.

I have painted in some of the world's most extreme locations to explore what it takes to be creative everywhere. These experiments have helped me discover who I am.

I am an extreme artist, bestselling author and Founder of the Masterpiece Movement.

Each of my paintings can help you become more who you are.
