Natures Simplicity: Reflections of Inner and Outer Worlds
“Reflections of inner and outer worlds” is not just a quote but a guiding principle in Mich K’s artistic journey. Her work explores the transformative power of art and language, inviting viewers into a new realm of discovery and contemplation.
The Genesis of Blu’bellwood
Blu’bellwood was born from Mich’s rich and colorful upbringing, influenced by her father’s linguistic and creative contributions, her family’s artistic inclinations, and her grandfather’s connection to Christian Science. These early experiences nurtured Mich’s natural creative talents, which she has translated into her life’s work despite various interruptions along the way. Today, Blu’bellwood represents the culmination of her journey, offering a space where spirituality and art converge.
A Playful and Poetic Approach
Mich’s work is infused with a playful and poetic approach, reflecting her deep connection to spirituality. Her use of color, intricate compositions, and ability to evoke emotion through multidimensional forms of art resonate with viewers on a profound level. She taps into the subconscious, inviting contemplation and a deeper understanding of our inner and outer worlds.
Atmospheric Spaces and Emotional Connections
Mich’s art language is multifaceted, seeking to create atmospheric spaces that evoke emotional responses. Her work aims to forge a deeper connection between the viewer and the artwork through visual and narrative elements. This pursuit of emotion and spiritual depth shapes her artistic and spiritual development, making her a mentor to others exploring human experiences and emotions.
A Unique Eye for Minimalistic Beauty
Mich is drawn to the minimalistic beauty of the natural landscape, capturing the interplay of light and shadow, and the intricate patterns of movement. Her photography, poetry, and video works often depict the tension between the environment and nature, conveying a sense of quietness and stillness, yet full of energy and movement. Mich’s approach is simple and intuitive, allowing the scenes and language to speak for themselves.
Spiritual Art and Healing
Mich believes that spiritual art and healing play a significant role in alleviating emotional and physical blockages. Through language, music, creative video compositions, and the natural world, she uses color to balance thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This process helps individuals identify with their unique self-expression and natural connection to the Earth.
Inspirations and Influences
Mich’s journey has been shaped by her travels, exposure to different cultures, and inspiration from artists like Andy Goldsworthy, Joey Vergani, Jon Adams, and Richard Long. Her tutors and the incredible artists and curators she has met through voluntary contributions have also played a crucial role in her artistic growth.
Exploring the Spiritual in Art
The natural landscape serves as a metaphor for Mich’s creative and spiritual journey. Just as nature’s colors aid in orientation, her artworks guide observers towards a deeper understanding of biodiversity and our interconnectedness with it. Mich’s work invites viewers to explore and uncover the spiritual embodiment in art, encouraging a profound connection with the natural world.
