I’m interested about the refinement of matter. A sort of alchemy working on proccesses to transform metal into gold. An evolution from cruder matter to light particles. A spiritualisation of a person. As I was painting, I was listening to a symphony on the radio. As I asked myself what the title of my first variation on this theme would be, l heard the symphony’s title, Rainbow Body. In Tibetan Buddhism it is said that certain meditation practices can alter the appearance of the body, transforming it into radiant light. The name given to this physical fluorescence is rainbow body. Great synchronicity, I had my title.
