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. Shakti is the power & force of creation. To create is to perform work through availability of energy. Without energy, no change can occur. Creation, by its very nature, is in constant flux—always moving, transforming, and evolving. To possess Shakti is therefore to possess the power to act upon creation and bring forth new forms. Shakti is the creative force itself, the Creatrix. By these terms I am and was creating especially new forms.The mental realm also operates through movement and depends on energy. Mental effort consumes the energy available. When that energy declines, the capacity for work is withdrawn from both body and mind. At that point, the body’s energy processes shift inward, focusing on self-regulation.
A modern version is :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._ Eckhart Tolle / Modern and Timeless
