Dear Friends,
I am thrilled to announce my next upcoming art exhibition, which will take place in none other than the prestigious art gallery called Agora Gallery in Chelsea, NYC !!
530 W. 25th St. (btwn 10th and 11th Aves) New York, NY 10001
The exhibition will take place from November 27th until December 18th, with an opening reception of Thursday, November 29th from 6pm – 8pm. One of my works which will be featured there is called “A Glance at Your Perfect Self”. This oil on canvas painting depicts a bride seated next to a young flower girl. Both the bride and the flower girl are looking into the future at their perfect state of joy and contentment.
The little girl is looking into the mirror at how she will one day also be a bride, and sees her perfected self as when she becomes that image of the bride in the painting.
And the bride sees her perfect self in the same way that the Creator sees every person, as being in our prime, and in our most powerful and highest state of consciousness achievable.
According to Monica Berg’s YouTube video, she quotes the founder of the Kabbalah Centre, Rav Ashlag, who says that in order to achieve our perfected state, we must first be able to visualize ourselves as where we want to be, and see ourselves in our highest potential. Then we must be willing to put in the effort beyond what we thought was even imaginable, in order to get to that perfect state which we saw ourselves in.
Most people in life have the aim of getting married, which that becomes the end goal and the final destination; which is why most people who get married feel disappointed and unfulfilled afterwards. However, in my painting, the bride is not settled in just getting married as her purpose, but rather, she looks introspectively to how she can still become a more perfected version of herself in the years to come. So both figures in the painting, including the bride and the flower girl, are introspective, in order to view themselves in their ultimate perfected state, which is yet to be obtained.
Lots of love to all my viewers,
Mina
