Fayez Barakat: "It is my belief..."

Fayez Barakat

IT IS MY BELIEF THAT FEELINGS, SENSATIONS, THOUGHTS EXPECTATIONS AND DREAMS ARE FREQUENCIES THAT RESPOND TO COLOURS, SHAPES AND FORMS THAT ARE EMBEDDED IN OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MINDS . WHEN I PAINT I TRY TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCES THROUGH THIS VIBRATION OF COLORS. THE DISCIPLINE OF MY DISTRIBUTION OF MY MEMORIES IS REFLECTED IN THE PAINTINGS. IT IS MY HOPE THAT MY PAINTINGS WILL ENHANCE THE AESTHETIC FREQUENCIES OF THE VIEWERS TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF THEIR PRESENT CONSCIOUSNESS, ENABLING THEM TO SEE THE BEAUTY OF THEIR GENETIC IMPRESSION IN THE ABSTRACT FORMS AND SHAPES CREATED. THE ECSTASY I FEEL AFTER THE COMPLETION OF EACH ARTWORK IS THE BASIS OF A NEW CREATION AND A PROCESS OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH. TO SHARE THIS JOURNEY WITH MY VIEWERS IS MY ULTIMATE JOY IN THE BRIEF EXPERIENCE WE CALL LIFE.

Hello Fayez

when I got to the part where you say enabling them to see the beauty.....I say Hold your horses..WOW WOW stop.

Beauty is the concept used to describe what there are no words for. For example...beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. But what you are saying is that the object, you are painting, is inside the beholders eye, no?

Beauty cannot be an object because it is the same exclamation for different objects. There is no different beauties for each object...beauty is beauty. So now your theory is about to 'pop'. I am sorry for you...but happy too because for so long now you have carried this idea that your artworks are higher than the viewer. The mind is about higher and lower, black and white....duality. But you, not who you believe you are...you...are beauty and that shines...only that and no thing else. Your viewers are also that beauty just like you and your art is no more beautiful than what your viewers already are. 

Self recognition is all that is happening all the time. No lower and no higher.

When you paint, Fayez, you 'think' all that you describe is happening...but what is thought other than a subtle vibration. So there are subtle and there are not so subtle vibrations....what is the difference other than being vibration.

More than anything , your artwork is your own self recognition because you are not the one making it. But if you keep on entertaining the ideas that you offer higher frequencies to viewers then you will be keeping yourself caught up in your own mind game.

There is always time to take another look.

And...is there any other use other than trying to make money out of a misunderstanding, by selling ones artworks under the premise you give?

Mr. Fayez.... did you know that 'hope' is a futuristic concept?...what about this very moment. Dont your paintings do just that, or do they require your hope for them to be.

How many wise men thought they could teach spiritually ignorant westerners a thing or two about mind games. Is it not clear that westerners are THE Pros at mind games. The east has a history of harnessing the mind in such a way to advance technology. Unfortunately, also, there are clever conmen who pose as 'hopefuls' for western seekers who are hungry for higher vibrations.

It is evidently clear that the mind can only function on what it has been taught and that that is past tense. But clever as it is, it too can act as the knower who raises awareness.

Luckly the west also has clever minds that suss out the bullshitters.

Your art speaks louder than your hopes and beliefs, Fayez...it is your mind that remains deluded.

again the mind game is on Fayez. Created....a word meaning 'to create'...but from what?. If energy is used to create and creation is energy then what is created is also energy. You can see from this (me too because I have a Double Doctorate in Bird Mechanics), that nothing is ever created because it is all energy. It is more likely to point with words at what makes energy what it is...what animates it.

I see that you still are of the belief that it is your abstract work that has evoked these words of John Dunn. But how far from the truth you are...your very belief in this is also only energy the same energy that is here right now but taking another form. Maybe other energetic patterns read this and see how futile your beliefs are Fayez. Only here on Artslant, on this forum, do you get the opportunity to see the folly of your beliefs. Because after reading this, you can close the door (so you think) and go on playing the game of believing that it is through your great abstracts that seekers will hopefully reach enlightenment.

Understanding is everything, Fayez...every thing.
