Dulari Sumaria

I am currently exploring my art practice in terms of 'drawing from the interior'. I don't think I have very good 'objective' drawing skills, but I know there is something delightfully and compulsively creative in me that wants to dance out - from the inner authentic self.

Just re-visited Dulari Sumaria's website and lovely video which is an inspiration:

From Dulari Sumaria's website she says:

"My practice is a blend of eastern and western thought and culture. The current work draws on the concept of unity of all that exists and it lies at the cusp of action and meditation; spiritual and sensual; real and relative. I explore the rhythmic patterns of energy aroused by sound vibrations. With a silent, non-conditioned mind, where the past and the future do not exist, I respond to my work with full awareness of my body movements, revealing a latent image. The drawings invoke series of repeated acts over slow progress of time. They are pure rhythm animated by intense energy. Through rhythm the lines return to their non-verbal, pre-linguistic state. The drawings are a combination of energy, rhythm, movement and stillness of mind thus evoking unity of spirit and matter.

The visual work allows me to share a philosophy which facilitates the quest for a spiritual union through the physical process of drawing.

I would like to convey to the viewer that art plays an important role in the broader global context, especially in the current climate while we are trying to overcome the ecological, social and spiritual crisis, where one needs to take responsibility towards all that exists through our confrontation with our inner consciousness to allow resurrection of a new era."
