Jharna Kala Paintings

"The whole picture does not come to me at once. As I start painting, I see a streak of light right ahead of me and devotedly I try to follow that streak of light. But on some rare occasions the light is so powerful that I envision the painting long before I have actually touched the paper, I don’t bring it forth; it comes to the fore from within, In the light the colour is there. Each time I see the streak of light, I see the colour."

"Paintings are there on the subtle plane, but we have to use paint to manifest them, It is like a river, The river is flowing down from the subtle plane, in this case the creative plane, and when it touches the earth, at that time it takes form and becomes creation itself."

- Sri Chinmoy
