Meera Artists Network Worldwide
|
"ART – born out of meditation; ART – born out of joy to connect with life."
If you bring these qualities into your creativity, painting is a doorway to coming closer to your self.
Once upon a time creativity and life energy was synonymous. And it's my heartfelt vision to bring this understanding back to people's life through Osho's meditations and therapies.
I would like to introduce to you these artists who worked with me and live as an artist.
Maybe you feel some similarities in those paintings because they are born directly from life itself.
I worked with so many people in so many different countries.
So this site will grow into a big tree of crativity, I am sure.
And one day we are going to present a world wide exhibition of "OSHO ARTISTS".
If you feel inspired by this vision, you are welcome to organize the show for us!
Love Meera |

"The beauty of nature, its ecstatic way of dancing suchness presents ever new motives to me. My paintings are an invitation to step into the space where dance and silencence meet."
"Die Schönheit der Natur, ihr ekstatisch tanzendes So-Sein schenkt mir immer neue Motive. So sind meine Gemälde eine Einladung an den Betrachter, selbst in den Raum, in dem sich Tanz und Stille treffen, einzutreten."

DIVYARATNA Sonia Zahirpour was born in Milan in 1974 from an italian-iranian family.
She always has been sensitive to beauty, poetry and colour.
She studied law at University Statale of Milan where she took degrees in 2000.
At the same time she started her artistic path by herself. In 2001 she participates to a course at the Castello Sforzesco’s School of Arts. In 2002 she meets meditation and from that moment it starts an intense and deep process of personal and artistical research, participating to many trainings between Italy and India, with the guidance of the master painter Meera Hashimoto.
She is assistant in several trainings about the blossoming of creativity using the tool of painting.
In 2009 she participates to a collective exhibition in Fondazione Marco Mantovani in Milan. In 2009 the historical art critic Carlo Franza invites her to the International Exhibition “Nuovi Scenari” in Teglio (So). Her painting work is supported by the art gallery Ada Zunino of Milan.

"L'ATTESA"
|
|

Charaka Simoncelli's  work can be characterized as a decorative and spatial investigation through which a path unfolds that is densely loaded with paper and visual references to memory. Her work explores an uncertain and yet orderly space, bringing us almost to landscape-like themes recalling the investigations done by Carlo Mattioli in the 1940s, suspended betweeen classic figurative references and abstract spatial expression. Simoncelli's work quickly establishes a precarious equilibrium betweena a background which is at the same time support and mental space, and a mysterious floating surface which might be clothing or a strip of cloth painted or deformed by time. Thus from an unsettling golden magma or thunder clouds, memory emerges as pages from a diary or from a book of memoires that the artist has found in an antiques dealer. Alternating with dense and brilliant drops of color which elongate to form stems of bushes or flowers, or triptychs of rose buds are indecipherable writings similar to the cryptograms of henry Michaux and those mystic and oriental "taches" which Simoncelli brings with her from physical and mental voyages made in the Indian sub-continent and in the precious and refined decorativism of this world full of light and golden transparencies.

PRASHNA MEI  born in Pingtung County and later attended the famous Fu-Hsin Trade and Arts School in Taiwan where she graduated in 1984, majoring in art. Further studies saw her graduating from Christian Chung Deh College in 2003 with a major in English.
She is passionate about people and has travelled extensively in Europe and Asia visiting over 19 countries in the past 14 years. She is fascinated by museums and has been greatly inspired by the Master Painters and Sculptors of the many countries she has visited.
She uses to express and translate how she feels this beautiful miracle of life. Nature is her international studio where she will sit in meditation and allow the painting to happen and to unfold.
On a visit to a Commune International, India, in 1993 Prashna discovered a spiritual connection with her painting. The energy field and support of like-minded people also allowed her to dive deeper into herself and her expression, breaking the chains of conventionality. Dancing and Meditating brought a whole new freedom to her work.
Between 1994 and 2005, Prashna participated and facilitated in over 25 creativity/painting workshops in India and Europe. In Denmark and Sweden in 2000 she co-presented painting/creativity workshops. She has also successfully lead painting and dancing workshops in Taiwan.

"Always remember, whatsoever I say to you, you can take it in two ways. You can simply take it on my authority, 'Because I say so, it must be true' -- then you will suffer, then you will not grow. Whatsoever I say, listen to it, try to understand it, implement it in your life, see how it works, and then come to your own conclusions. They may be the same, they may not be. They can never be exactly the same because you have a different personality, a unique being. Whatsoever I am saying is my own. It is bound to be in deep ways rooted in me. You may come to similar conclusions, but they cannot be exactly the same. So my conclusions should not be made your conclusions. You should try to understand me, you should try to learn, but you should not collect knowledge from me, you should not collect conclusions from me. Then your mind-body will grow."
...
An authentically religious man is an individual. He is alone, and in his aloneness there is great beauty, great splendor. I teach you that aloneness. I teach you the beauty, and the grandeur, and the fragrance of aloneness. In your aloneness you will reach to the heights of Everest. In your aloneness you will be able to touch the farthest star. In your aloneness you will blossom to your total potential.
Never become a believer, never become a follower, never become a part of any organization, never become a part of any religion, never become a part of any nation. Remain authentically true to yourself."
Don't betray yourself.
Osho
