Dear readers,
As we enter into summertime and before we go on vacation, let us pause for a moment and reflect on what the symbolic paintings of our lives look like. Since the beginning of the year, have we been able to make choices that lead us to move forward in life and appreciate the big painting we create from each day offered to us? Or are a lot of us constantly held back by struggles, conflicts, fear or crises that seem to repeat themselves?
In this second issue of Art & Inspiration, five wonderful authors generously share their inspirations in life and their insights on struggles, conflicts, fear or crises, presenting us with encouraging advice on how to put these difficult aspects into perspective. Our journey starts with human consciousness pioneer Caroline Myss (Sacred Contracts, Archetypes: Who Are You?), who describes how archetypes are the magnets of connection as well as how a conflict is always rooted in an archetypal pattern. The Victim is one of the archetypes she discusses. Then, through the examples of the Artist and the Fool archetypes, author and CMED archetype consultant Selah Rose Cambias (Family Types) shows us how to love our children through both the good times and the bad times by recognizing their archetypal patterns. Next, we interviewed French fiction authors Marc Levy (Stronger Than Fear) and Anne Calife (Street Tale, So Much the Better if I Fall) who reveal their Explorer sides. Marc Levy discusses the small acts of courage in everyday life and appreciating diversity in the world while Anne Calife shares with us her experience living with homeless people and how struggles are necessary to progress in life. We also interviewed author Mark Matousek (When You’re Falling, Dive), who analyzes the archetype of Crisis and who emphasizes that the best attitude to have is not to ask the question “Why did this happen to me?” but rather “How can I move forward?”
Latin American and South American artists constitute another theme for this issue, and we feature three artists whose natural sense of creativity has enabled them to cope with or overcome struggles. We explore the life and works of Mexico’s favorite artist Frida Kahlo, who suffered tremendously in life and who had the Fighter archetype. We then had the pleasure to interview Columbian artist Cristina Olivares and Brazilian sculptor Zília Nazarian, whose paths in life have included either healing or freedom of expression through art.
Finally, Swedish artist and photographer Christina Rahm Galanis takes us on a poetic journey to Mallorca where she visited earlier this year at the change of seasons. She shares with us her admiration of the island’s beautiful yet mysterious almond trees.
After recharging the batteries this summer, will we be ready to tackle new challenges in the fall and symbolically paint what truly moves us?
