About the use of spirituality and blue
Blue is still a fallacy, because it exists like a phantom. The writer William Gass wrote in his book "On Being Blue": "Among the ancient elements, blue is everywhere: in ice and water, in flames purely like flowers, accidentally I heard in the cave that the fruit was covered and oozed out from the mud. "However, we can't control or touch the flames, nor can we bottle the sky blue.

Kandinsky is an expert in color, and he sincerely believes in its spiritual characteristics: "In the supernatural field, the deeper the blue, the stronger the call for people to advance towards infinity, and finally wake him up For pure desire. "He is not the only one who has this idea. Eastern sorcerers have a long association with dark sapphires;
Ultramarine never gives excessive stereotypes to others. It neither disseminates complete happiness nor sells despair. Art critic John. In a speech at the Edinburgh Institute of Philosophy, John Ruskin once said: "Blue is appointed by God as a source of eternal happiness.

Between Red Mind to Blue Mind
Researchers look carefully at studies detailing the calming effect of nature on the human mind, and they find over and over that water helps amplify nature’s soothing, healing qualities. “Blue Mind” to describe this state of water-associated peace. It’s in contrast to “Red Mind,” which neuroscientist Catherine Franssen, PhD,describes as an “edgy high, characterized by stress, anxiety, fear, and maybe even a little bit of anger and despair.” To be fair, the amped-up state of Red Mind is not always bad. Accessed constructively, Red Mind can help us learn to evaluate and reduce stressors in our lives.Time in nature is an easier solution. Especially time in, on, or near water. This is excerpted from the book Blue Mind by Wallace J. Nichols.

Spiritual Awakening | Elements of Earth, Water, Wind and Fire
​
The fire element is the central fire and the external fire, which can activate the internal fire. It continually provides energy to your cave of life and inner fire. It is also responsible for purifying and burning off everything. That is unnecessary-various residues left by the water element. Water may be polluted, the ground element may have residual energy, and the wind element may also purify the subtle body move some energy. The sacred fire will burn all these residues.
When the elements of water, fire, wind and earth are connected, it often causes mutual destruction of water and fire, fire and wind. For example, the wind can both promote the fire and extinguish the fire, and the earth element is the link connecting these elements.

The invisible energy comes from the source and is close to eternity. It is extremely calm and without traces. It cannot be accurately described in all human words. Therefore, I tried to present it on the easel painting and dynamic art form

As in the life of an artist, art has only been self-burning. There has never been such a person in this era. Therefore, the inner life of the artist is also in a spiral state, and there is no end in sight. Thus, art in this era only depicts the spirit in the distance and creativity in the reach of art.In my opinion, it seems that only the spirit itself is art.
