Dear one,
Like the body needs food, the soul needs inspiration and creativity. Through dancing, painting, singing and living, we find our voice. We are creators, you and I. It is a joy to find that which is authentic within us, so that we can express and share it. It might be the greatest healing we can give the world...
In my painting, the emphasis is not on the outcome. It is mainly about a journey of self-exploration: moment by moment, stroke by stroke. Through colours and shapes, the heart expresses itself. Every time in new ways, but always from the same source: a loving and peaceful source.
Being creative is not about being the best painter or a famous writer. It is about being uncompromisingly, boldly, authentically our Self. Therefore, I have found painting to be a beautiful means for inner healing. It easily connects us to our feelings, calmth and strength. Self-love has been a natural consequence. And I wish the same for you, as I wish the world to have the most authentic version of you.
I reside in India, together with my partner Karan and the community. We run Adara Farmstay - an inspiration centre for locals and internationals. It is my pleasure to share 40% of the art profits with this project. Let us light up the world.
With colourful love,
Lieke
True creation
Does not come from
Meeting expectation
Or acknowledgement
True creation
Comes from the urge
To explore yourself
Bravely and boundlessly
True creation
Sprouts from being curious
Of how you can meet yourself
Differently than before
