"Absolute Light" by Marilyn Wells, 24" x 20", oil & cold wax

Absolute Light by Marilyn Wells, 24" x 20", oil & cold wax on wood panel, framed, is one of my most recent paintings in my Solo Show, Seeing Through at D'Art Gallery in Denver CO.

Walk out as a lion, as a rose,

Inhale autumn, long for spring.

Lose your life if you seek eternity…

The master who teaches us

is absolute light, not this visibility.

-Rumi Inhale Autumn, Long for Spring 2503OCW

In this visionary body of work, I welcome you into a world of diaphanous light, subtle transparency, and inner presence. These paintings invite you to know there are layers of being to explore, both from our past in the Neolithic and Magic ages through to the ever-present realm that surrounds us, unseen, but revealed when we search for it. The object is to know that we all belong to something much larger than we have imagined, absolutely safe and secure, as well as beautiful, and to know that we have nothing to fear or be angry about, therein finding new peace, hope, and purpose in our lives altogether.
