Equilibrium By Patrick Parker

"Equilibrium"

By: Patrick Parker

Equilibrium is part of Patrick's Sacred Series that is only available exclusively here at 9th Wave Gallery.

This piece represents the balance of nature through shapes using the Yin and Yang symbol, with the gold representing the sun and silver representing the moon. Yin and Yang are complementary, not opposing, forces, interacting to form a whole greater than either separate part; in effect, a dynamic system. The square in the center of the Yin and Yang symbol represents the natural order and strength of the universe, with the four corners of the square symbolizing the seasons and the elements. The five colored Flower of Life symbols represent the elements; blue is Water, green is Earth, metallic is Void, yellow is Air, and red is Fire. Also, these symbols are lined up vertically on the central energy line to represent the Chakras.

Original is 10" x 10" and painted on 2" deep cradled wood panel using acrylic paint.

The Meaning of The Sacred Series: When I was given the challenge by Jay Celat to create a series based on sacred geometry, the five elements, the seasons, the chakras, and the sun and moon, I happily accepted. In my professional art career spanning over six years, I had never focused so deeply on creating a series with so much meaning. The process took over three months to create the seven part series, with many hurdles to jump and problems to solve.

I began by researching sacred geometry, and discovered many fascinating things about the world, the universe, and myself. The saying "The more you learn the less you know" became very real to me as my mind was opened to this new way of thinking, connecting, realization, and philosophy. I started to see sacred geometry and patterns in my everyday life that went unnoticed before, which made me even more interested in the subject. Applying the things I have learned studying sacred geometry in my art was challenging but deeply rewarding as each piece began to develop. And as I started incorporating the five elements, the seasons, the shakras, and the sun and moon, it became an even more gratifying journey.

Starting with the 10" x 10" pieces, I laid the foundation down, introducing the viewer with simple patterns to my inspirations. As the pieces become larger and more complex, they begin to incorporate the elements with more energy, color, and flow. And as this happens, they become more thought provoking and interesting to look at. Throughout the series you will see reoccurring shapes and colors, this symbolizes the connection that everything in the universe has.

I hope you enjoy the experience viewing this series and hope it will spark an interest in your mind to explore more deeply into this ancient knowledge.

Mahalo,
Patrick
