Contemporary Artworks displays the various abstract oil paintings done by Robert R. Lackney.

The mission of the Contemporary Artworks blog is to be a voice for those who explore the inner life experience of classical mystical contemplation in the creative processes arts: oil painting, abstract painting, architecture, sculpture, and contemplative art.

Explore concepts that integrate the visual such as mathematics, astronomy, inter-dimensional realities, and integral art.

Have you ever wondered where beauty, truth, and love come from? How do wonder, delight, and joy flow into the world? How do mystery, divinity, and spirit become visible in daily life?

Are these the things of magic, fantasy, miracles—of pure consciousness? The invisible somehow becomes visible—becomes real! Becomes tangible and concrete. We enter into an inter-dimensional reality.

WE PLAY: The desire to learn and to know is the ever expanding addiction.

WE HEAR THE INNER VOICE: The inventory perceptions/pre-conceptions and search for truth. Learn through exploration of the existing real world and the elimination of crippling emotions. WE SEE: Excited about the sun, air, rain—a trip, a walk, a run—immersion into a sensual experience. WE EXPECT: The process of questioning things while working (or asleep). To endure the confusions in the mind. To enjoy and feel at home with the unknown. WE IMAGINE: Creativity emerges from uncertainty: a mixture of “What is and what is not,” “visible/ invisible,” and “realities/ illusions”: inner life experience. WE ARE CONFIDENT: The balance of actions and thought with humility and reverence. WE ARE SPIRIT: Integration of your dreams, aspirations and how things are put together. WE WORK: Commitment to independent work, study, and travel when alone. WE LIVE IN THE INNER LIFE: Catching the inner flow of sensations, forms, colors, image clusters, amber lights, and the shiny objects that pass your way.
