Manohar Kaul - The
Artist
This time I am presenting latest water-colour landscapes which are bound to soothe you and all the connoisseurs of Art. You will also have a glimpse of some earlier works too. Some of the works are based on colour therapy. I have been studying this subject over a decade and my experience has been that "each colour has its own meaning and, a special quality". Colour has a mystic power much as that of Gems which are suggested by Gem therapists the world over. These therapies are mostly applied after studying the planetry position in one's horoscope based mainly on the vibrations of the celestial objects rotating around the cosmos.I have realised that colours have curative powers for various forms of ailments. In some cases, I have observed that different colours have varied impact on not only human beings but even on animal life as well. Varied environmental atmospheres also have an impact on the living denizens in different areas, which is due to the colours of the flora and fauna encircling them.
Faber Birren, a noted colour therapist is of the opinion "that even blind people react to light (which has a spectrum of colours) through their skin, like others". He further opines that, "Perhaps as long as the organ of perception is in the brain, and not the eye, clues from the skin can be used by the blind to 'see' the world and its spectral hues."
In this mystical theraphy 'Aura' plays an important role. Faber Birren further says that all plants and animals, like human beings, have their 'aura'. This has been confirmed in modern times. The aura is a most important ingrediant of the entire entity, as much as the body. Every one has believed in the healing power of colour from ancient times. Even modern medicine has acknowledged the value of Infra-red radiation which is helpful in relieving certain pains, and mental blocks. Theo Gimble has been using light and colour to treat various ailments for several years in England.
From my young age I was fascianted by colour and I would always prefer to go to remote areas of the Kashmir Valley to enjoy the colour vibrations which brought me peace of mind.
You would be surprised to know that I have been picking up the colourful pebbles on the hilly roads and in the streamlets. The fact is that from the very beginning I have been attracted by the magnetic colours.
Some landscapes I present are in fact based on the colour theraphy which can play an important role in helping to cure many disabilities. Therefore the presentation is a combination of aesthetic values as well as the curative powers of colours.
