The Art of Four Elements project is a collaboration of four artists: a poet Nataša Pantović, a photographer Christine Cutajar, a painter Jason Lu, and a water-colourist Jeni Caruana. The artists worked together to launch Art of Four Elements website (www.artof4elements ), book, and exhibition.
The poetry is an inspiration for the work of the artists. Each of the artists has chosen 40 poems and has created the art work based on the theme and the ‘vibe’ of each poem.
Transforming the visible into words, and words into images, the group stumbled upon the four elements, and upon each others’ expression of Love, Joy, Suffering, Compassion, Curiosity, and most of all, Wonder towards all the manifestations within Nature. The poetry, the photography, the drawings, all, attempt to deeper explore the infinite game of Life, through the exploration of:
• Earth that is fixed, rigid, static and quiet, and symbolizes the world of senses;
• Water that is is fluidity and flexibility, and symbolizes the world of emotions;
• Air that has no shape and is incapable of any fixed form. It is a symbol of thoughts.
• Fire that is a parching heat that consumes all, or within its highest manifestation, becomes the expression of Divine Love; and
• Spirit that stands at the center of the four elements as an Essence, an Observer, Consciousness coming forth to experience the magic of Life.
The Art of Four Elements artwork and book was launched with an exhibition at St James Cavalier, in Valletta, Malta, in April.
The Art of Four Elements project is a result of collaboration of a number of spiritually minded artists. The Art of Four Elements aims to engage artists all around the world, to share their art works within this framework of the Internet Alchemical Discovery. For this reason we have designed The Art of Four Elements website – www.artof4elements.com
