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 which became a selfhelp journey and quest for the Higher Self, being a light to myself.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 work has appeared on international book covers.Since 2021, I was building on nearly two decades of photo editing, namely Photoshop. My non-conformist approach led to *Kniff Art* (2016 -), a pure surrealist automatism and flow-state practice transforming formless digital imagery into imaginative compositions and new forms—beginning with a kind of visual “nothingness”.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 This event was a radical rebirth and put an end to suffering caused by child abuse;there may be discussions about the future of art however to me Mother Nature is the 'great artist energy', it is my own essence and always available in the Now.
Several historical and contemporary figures embody the intersection of Taoist alchemy and art, focusing on the cultivation of internal energy (Neidan), transformation, and creative expression (incl. techspressionism).It is not a myth.In Rosicrucian and esoteric thought, the Genesis 3 narrative of the woman and the serpent is often interpreted allegorically rather than literally. The serpent is frequently seen as a symbol of wisdom, the awakening of kundalini, or inner spiritual knowledge (gnosis), while the woman represents the soul or the subconscious, and the act of eating the fruit symbolizes the descent of human consciousness into matter and the gaining of self-awareness.Jiddu Krishnamurti famously used the metaphor of a snake in the room to describe the intense, choiceless awareness needed to understand oneself. He taught that one must watch the mind's movements with extreme sensitivity, just as one would watch a venomous snake, leading to total, immediate attention and ending the continuity of conditioned thought. Key aspects of this analogy include: Total Awareness: He described this state as “living with a snake in the room,” requiring maximum alertness to every movement and sound. Instant Insight: Such intense attention, like fearing a poisonous snake, reveals the totality of oneself in an instant.Ending Thought: By watching the "poisonous snake" of the mind (envious, acquisitive, or conditioned thought) without judgment, the movement of thought ends.Context: This analogy is frequently found in his teachings on awareness, such as in Freedom from the Known.I was never forced into any religious belief system.I didn't believe in snakes.
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 .This is one of the few good statements I found recently.
