I am a tao alchemist, a photo-,visionary and digital artist; a spontaneous awakening (kundalini) a rebirth and transformation that reshaped both my life and creative path was the disruption of my early career and led me to confront my shadow self-part and heal childabuse past trauma.My foundation is rooted in self-taught most of the time,in still photography on film sets, in black-and-white labs, and only briefly in commercial advertising besides other works.I collaborated with the Henry Boxer Gallery in London, and my photographic work has appeared on international book covers with focus on Noir themes.Since 2001 I have worked with Photoshop CS6 until a non-conformist (2016-) photo-editing approach finally led to *Kniff Art*, a pure surrealist automatism and flow-state practice transforming formless digital imagery into imaginative compositions and new forms, a pioneer to myself.I was building on nearly two decades of photo editing,working also outside commercial structures allowing experimental exploration before AI became mainstream.Since 2023 I’ve engaged in AI-gen expanding with surrealist text automatism and beyond 'refining' what needed to be refined.

Manly P. Hall, a 20th-century mystic and philosopher, taught that the awakening of KUNDALINI—the dormant, coiled energy at the base of the spine—is a transformative process that alters consciousness, leading to the creation of NEW FORMS, both in terms of inner spiritual experience and outer creative expression. TIMELESS WISDOM OF ALL AGES. Here is a breakdown of this concept based on Tolle's teachings: ''1. The Source: The Formless Realm - Definition: The formless is the realm of deep stillness, peace, joy, and intense aliveness that underlies all life. It is the "Unmanifested," or what traditional teachings might call God or pure consciousness.The Problem with "Form": Human suffering often arises from being lost in identification with form—thinking, doing, and physical objects.The Goal: The aim is to live with access to this formless dimension, freeing oneself from bondage to the ego and the frantic, incessant nature of thought.''

2. The Purpose of Art (Creation from Stillness) - Surrendered Action: True art is not created out of a "wanting" or "needing" from the ego, but rather from a state of inner alignment and presence (non-resistance). Conscious Co-creation: When an artist or creator is connected to the formless, they become a conduit for that intelligence to express itself in the physical world. Bringing "Light" into Form: The goal is to bring the quality of stillness—or "light"—into the world of form. This transforms the world of form, making it a reflection of the divine or conscious intelligence. Impact: Art produced this way allows the viewer to experience a glimpse of that same stillness and presence.I hope it shines through :)).

All generative (“procedural”) techniques available in media software are “digital art'' It’s another version of an old gatekeeping argument about purity, authenticity, and technical mastery to state that artworks that involve writing computer code qualify as “digital art” while artworks created using Photoshop or other media applications do not. _ quote Inside Photoshop by Lev Manovich
