LOVE IS IN THE EARTH.

Many ancient cultures teach that crystals are alive. Ancestral knowledge is that the Earth itself is a living breathing entity. And what if Mother Earth is the single largest crystal we know of?

Crystals grow and change. This is how we get crystal formations such as quartz clusters. Parts of a crystal can break off during its growth process and become a new growing crystal itself, demonstrating that they do indeed reproduce and are being nourished by Earth. Ancients believed these stones to be alive, taking a breath once every hundred years or so.

Beings that existed long before humanity - we all carry this memory of our stone ancestors within our bodies.

Rose Quartz belongs to the “Great Mother” stones and links your heart to the earth.

It is all about keeping your heart open, clear, and connected.

This series of digitally painted portraits is a study of variety of ways this world is being reflected through a woman. It is authors way of expressing gratitude for the most skillful painter - existence itself, painter creating this present moment on the canvas of our lives.

Our personal stories and our experiences are shaping our identities, our ideas about who we, where we come from and where we are going to. Reflections of past are conditioning the way we see our present and way think about our future.

It is an invitation to become silent for a moment , to just watch how moment of creation is happening right here , right now.

Reminder that past is gone and that when future will arrive - it will be present again. Present is the only time we will ever have to be grateful for this Life.

This series will be updated every 1-2 weeks.

All works are 1/1 digital paintings created exclusively for KnownOrigin.
