🌞🌞 "Duals" couples series by dakini.hu since 1988 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤 🤍 🤎

Dear Friends!

I truly believe EVERY SOUL without exception has a dual or a life partner.

Souls recognize each other in all forms of the human body, they recognize the aura and vibration.

Souls have no 3 D barriers,

they live in 5 D, doesn't matter where they are on the globe, even from thousand miles away recognize their duals.

Oneness recognizes and bows down to Oneness, without ego-trips.

Simply we call it LOVE.

It has nothing to do with age, sex, financial status, interest,

souls are destined to BE together are finding each other.

The better half is part of the other, but not a half,

an already accomplished half.

I often depicted couples, twin flames, anima-animous pairs, my favs are abstract androgenous pairs since the feeling of love is not feminine or masculine.

LOVE is LOVE, it has no gender.

One shall respect love, the essence of human life.

Not every human came to earth to have families or children, others came to earth to have 10 children and giant families, we are different and this profusion of differences is our strength to learn from each other.

Husband and wife learn from each other, as children and grandparents, same-sex or different sexes help each other,

knowledge and experience open the doors, no matter in what we are good at,

no difference in differences

always the MOST experienced LEADs.

Humans shall learn from animals.

The collection of the "duals" series and the publishing is in progress, quite a big work that will take a long time.

Solitude is essential to create.

These dancing pink and light blue Zen, Shinto-inspired couples are twin-flames, melt, physically as siamese wins, same body and same soul.

Dancing, spinning, and pray in Shinto chancels, offering natural elements to Gods,

in Japanese, the Kami.

"Shinto is polytheistic and revolves around the kami ("gods" or "spirits"), supernatural entities believed to inhabit all things. The link between the kami and the natural world has led to Shinto being considered animistic and pantheistic. The kami are worshiped at kamidana household shrines, family shrines, and jinja public shrines. "

Dear Friends!

During the whole 4 years of study at the department of drawing and visual communication,

art teacher training college at EK University,

was a "traveling" in between historical and artistic styles for me.

I started my travel and experiments in prehistoric times or even in the Atlantis era

and the next month I found myself in zen and painting in Japanese style.

Finally, I decided to create my final exams' artworks and written the essay and research study in the spirit of zen (Asian) calligraphy and its deep impact on modern American and Western abstract painters.

Shinto chancels:

Shinto - Wikipedia

Shinto (Japanese: 神道, romanized: Shintō) is a religion which originated in Japan. Classified as an East Asian religion by scholars of religion, its practitioners often regard it as Japan's indigenous religion and as a nature religion. Scholars sometimes call its practitioners Shintoists, although adherents rarely use that term themselves. There is no central authority in control of Shinto and much diversity exists among practitioners.

Shinto is polytheistic and revolves around the kami ("gods" or "spirits"), supernatural entities believed to inhabit all things. The link between the kami and the natural world has led to Shinto being considered animistic and pantheistic. The kami are worshiped at kamidana household shrines, family shrines, and jinja public shrines. The latter are staffed by priests, known as kannushi, who oversee offerings of food and drink to the specific kami enshrined at that location. This is done to cultivate harmony between humans and kami and to solicit the latter's blessing. Other common rituals include the kagura dances, rites of passage, and seasonal festivals. Public shrines also supply religious paraphernalia such as amulets to the religion's adherents. Shinto does not emphasize specific moral codes although it places a major conceptual focus on ensuring purity, largely by cleaning practices such as ritual washing and bathing. Shinto has no single creator or specific doctrinal text, but exists in a diverse range of local and regional forms.

Finally, I decided to create my final exams' artworks and written the essay and research study in the spirit of zen calligraphy and its deep impact on modern American and Western abstract painters.

Space-time-motion artworks have many pieces of duals, but in each series, I created duals paintings.

In 1998 these duals are inspired by the feeling of happy solitude in Paris, transformations of lives, moving to a new home, Eiffel Tower. I often created and played with the Eiffel Tower image and imagined mentally a partner to the Eiffel Tower, standing in solitude above Paris.

Spinning, Jumping, Dancing Eiffel Towers as couples, duals indeed was FUN, entertained my soul in solitude as an artist.
