and to Dmitry Bulgakov

and to dear Di Grande 

for the support of the project and for great talented work.

I would like to express  regret for giving up by a talented person the project "Perception world in words and colours" .

 She joined me  in March when I was elaborating the project  "Eritis sicut Deus scientes bonum et malum"and her poetry inspired me to have this project started  within   "Love Poetry" or "Perception world in words and coloursФ  described above. "Perception..." was devoted to the subject of perception and different expression instruments - word, sound, colour, line  and was to be  presenting my and her artworks and was to be enriched by  her  lustrous talent  for  poetry and words  and   by mine and by publishing a book "Love  in rhythms of sounds, words, colours,  lines"  created by her poetry & my pictures, and I shed bitter teas for the unrealized project "Perception world in words and coloursФ  that was inspired by her art works and which we were up to make to live... 

May be one day ...Although the news about her are cheering up :I am  very glad to know that she got her poetry and sayings  published  later  by name Rita Babochkina and surely I was pleased to get the sincere gratitude expressed by her  to me. Thanks, no need to mention, as that is only her achievement -  learning and getting the best of every moment of life and more - to share it with the others. Thanks for it  and for her work. As well I would like to thank Tomara, for being a friend of mine, for  the discussions we both learned much from and for the interest and some good help  I value highly as well the shine of  talents she's brighten up. 

I would like to mention the name of PARABELLUM, the most talented contemporary poet I ever met, his great talent, big heart and beautiful soul lighted my life path. May be one day our correspondence (he lives in the USA)that shows deep and beautiful soul of his and great sense of word and idea beauty  will be published.

everything has its blessed significance 

it is a bit odd to mention 

the cardinal virtues: 

 prudence, fortitude, temperance, justice 

as an addition to the subject of "Eritis Sicut Deus...", 

although I believe it worth even learning to repeat by heart...

yours truly,  

Ellen Gera

 Everything has the significance.

Bless, Lord, life path of everyone who sacrifice to you

 Ellen Gera:

About paintings:

If the painting stimulates imagination and senses, gives source for thoughts and creative ideas, stir up the will and heart, 

it means that this artwork is blessed and accepted and is a good deed.

Visual impression is the strongest profound indelible one, charged by the great power of emotions and knowledge. An artist is a conductor of this knowledge, gained by him unknowingly and embodied in the images, in creations, which help to get a key to this knowledge for the other people bypassing any borders of time and language.

I admire the precise perfect creation obviously built by talent and hard work.

 And I highly respect the high proficiency level. 

Any work includes some mechanical arts 

but the real art work appears after being animated by Divine Energy of afflatus.

Comments "Playing with subconscious":

лI use unusual technique according to my studies of interaction between colours and  mindЕЕimages in the paintings change due to the light intensity and bring the plot, read by subconscious via visual sensation. We can say that any of my paintings is a tool kit to stimulate creative and abstract thinking, to develop the interactions between conscious and subconscious.ЕЕ

... the sacrament of the present moment ....

Look and every your glance at my abstract painting will bring something new, as the world unlimited for discoveries, the picture displays new images and shades endlessly as with collaboration of your visual perception it lights up lively images in your deep subconscious according the subject addressed within and this will bring you more knowledge of the subject, the world and of yourself .For me "Playing with subconscious" paintings are more powerful and intriguing instrument of perception than an expressive moment of reality reflected on the canvas. We have a camera for. But the image of the  "Playing with subconscious" painting is unique and unduplicated.

 Comments to the project:

I believe that my paintings shall stimulate  positive emotions and senses, thinking, shall help a person to know more about the world and himself for the sake of his own well-being and the world around. This was the key point of the project Bell' Art "Women Perception" (tolerance, capability to learn the other point of view, that may be just the other look at the reality (the sample, the painting "Sun. #21"). 

This  is the target of the project лEritis sicut Deus scientes bonum et malumФ, which involves biblical as basic theme, issues of Harmony and strength of mind, matter of choice between self-development (good) and self-destruction (evil).

from interview to Radio Liberty (2001)

..The painting "Path to Hell" or "Inferno", doesn't bring anything bad or destructive by itself. Although everyone realize the hidden meaning and relations with darkness. There is evil  but there is no place for it in your life until.... the army of darkness provoke, decoy, put obstacles in your path's way, but if your belief is solid and your vision is clear, your heart is brave, and mind is collected, there is no power this army has. But it is so bewitching interesting, tempting  curious that a weak heart would stop and your vision is concentrating on it, studying the intriguing mystery. The dragons, snakes, the other strange creatures shapes appears drawing your attention from your target to this unknown tempt... may promising as much as...... you may feel as not only you but all you is drawn into ....

Thus the darkness force is in the tempt, in drawing your attention  from blessed favorable and creative path  away, so much away to get you lost, when lost you may destructed and all your energy may serve to them when body dying and the soul dead.

Thus all your move - your own choice. 

as well the sequent

How dare do you  blame anything or anybody in things or in decision made by you?

Comments to лSun.№21╗:

Comments to the painting SUN. #21" The face of "Sun" is changing due to your focus on. It may smile on you, may grin on ... all based on the place you look at from. One move and it changes again. Conception is simple and old as human being:  the proved fact  by this experiment with the painting is that several people see the same painting in the same moment differently and everyone sees the true image...  his true, his reality.  And it is easy to take the same position and see the thing as he does or at least realize that it does exists - the other reality in the same time.  And the world around us is not black/white or as simple as we wish to consider for  life ease. And many debates are created by different viewpoints. Isn't it more valuable to broaden own horizons by the others knowledge?

And the world around us is not black/white or as simple as we wish to consider. But if we take into account the changing factors (internal and external), which always change the subject and us and the world around, we may suspect that we may state 

"the Truth is a subjective sentiment just for the certain time point".

from "New stage of human development" 

Everything has it sense.

impartial vision is to see and clear mind is to perceive

"the path to  a summit is a rough terrain of many severe trials

the spiritual or may be the real human summit is in reaching the highest of God and this path has the most rough terrain " 

There are only two governing factors through life: dominant characteristics of  internal force will-power and strength of mind.

There are many roads to God, to well being, and only happy thoughts and serenity are the define characteristics of the right path being taken.

... climb a  Moses mountain, leave the crowd insensibly, 

not being involved in bustle of the Earth, perceive afflatus...  

Pure Love = Absolute Beauty
