dzogchen MEDITATION PAINTINGS

short history

After 40 years of teaching Buddhist psychology and dzogchen meditation and writing 20 books, the Dutch teacher robert hartzema became tired of words and went into a silent retreat. Out of his lifelong longing for expression he took-up painting, from the wordless energy of meditation directly onto the paper, as spontaneous color-forms: empty and radiant. And if a thought, intention, mental form or movement came in-between, the painting was destroyed.

Because of the wilder and more emotional way of painting, the paper is sometimes a little bubbled or folded, or there is a small hole by the metal of the paintbrush. You will not see that if the artwork is framed. This is only a selection of the 150 paintings which are made.
