The artist
I began and finished my last series of works entitled, Petals of Morya Flowers. This series of works was created on black card, measuring 20x20cm, using gold, silver, and copper ink pens, crystals of various colors and shapes, and gold-plated metallic jewelry flower pieces. It comprises 33 works and was inspired by passages from Helena Roerich's books that mention FLOWERS, especially the book "Leaves from Morya's Garden" from 1924 and 1925, hence the series' title Petals of Morya's Flowers. It is my way of paying homage to Mahatma Morya, the personal instructor of her Upasika, H. P. Blavatsky.
Key passages from Helena Roerich´s various books that inspired the title of this works series:
Courage is born of a pure heart. One might compare it to a rose, where the significance of the flower lies in the number of its petals. If they are torn off, the flower as a whole is injured. Therefore, guard the defenses of the heart. Wisely understand that only the lord of the flower has access to all its petals”. Helena Roerich, Heart, 15, 1932.
How are We to explain, when the heart is silent? How are We to speed things up, when the heart is heavier than iron? How are We to move a heart that has died in spirit? Yet it is possible to learn to value every reverberation of the heart, when the secret flower manifests a multitude of petals that guard the treasure deep within the spirit”. Helena Roerich, Heart, 31, 1932.
The Silvery Lotus of the fiery heart is not often manifested, even to lofty spirits. But separate petals of the fiery Lotus can be seen, and in accordance with them let us assemble the entire flower. But if this fiery wonder is even once evoked, and viewed by the heart, then from that hour the heart’s path leads upward, toward eternal attainment. Let the ascent be of extreme steepness—We prepare a hand-rope for those who have resolved to ascend”. Helena Roerich, Fiery World II, 469, 1934.
