When the artist breaks through

This picture is called : The Light

Painted 22 September 2001 in course for Vedic-Art painters.

That day I feel strange already entering the room with other painters. I use to paint only with brushes and on regular size papers - it is making me mad. So my teacher, a wise old lady, tell me to go out from that room and put up one big peace of wallpaper on the wall and throw away my brushes.
Do so, go into another room (we have several there) by myself and think about the theme we have; "light".
I push my hands in a buckle of black color and just mash it on the wallpaper... take several steps away from it and just gaze upon it. Asking myself, why black, this is supposed to be about light?
My teacher comes by and say just: "Congratulations!"
I shake my head... then I just go in battle with my painting... the result of that breakthrough is this.

Adding something: It was so many years ago I looked at these paintings I did then and now, my fingers and hands are longing after this kind of intuitive painting.
