POEM BY THE ARTIST FOR 100 DREAMS

Pink denotes the obscurity
In fact it bridges the transcendental and hyper real certainty-
Trough inconsequential vivid imageries
Millions of scenarios 
Of vexation, passion, some of erotic essence, some for love,
Lusty expectations, of hate, of sorrow. Of panic and pleasures, 
Of which is not real, of triumph ant treasures
Of colours and conspiracies
Mine and yours, hundreds of them in numbers
Oh, I couldn’t speculate 
She, my darling and dark chocolate.

Varieties of aesthetic experience

Responses of art not only depend on effectiveness of work of art but on the receptivity of the individual which is notoriously fickle.

What is the aesthetic experience in case of painting?

Artists have urgent need to communicate it (experience of hyper aesthetics) to others.

Any artist moved by beauty and harmony in things and creatures, all draw upon some common fount in human psyche, quite different qualitatively from ordinary experience , yet linked with it.

This association between a beautiful scene in nature or painting and the hyper aesthetic experience consists in a transfiguration of the scene or painting by events occurring in mind.

Some emotionally evocative stimuli in the environment help the emotionalisation of mind.

To become aware of these stimuli nature has to make use of the sense of the sight, hearing and touch as well as the poetry of language..............

Common features of peak experience

give sense of belonging and reassurance.

The impression of access to reality more than ordinary world.

Dream experience

These techniques which involve the remembering or reliving the dreams are common in many societies. In the west, however, the analytical approach can prevent the dreamer from getting in to the real contact with the essential meaning. Dreams often reveal meaning on different level simultaneously, and techniques consist of peeling away the inconsequential layers to real the essence .this often results in a peak experience when it is successful.
