Creative Me

We are all born with psychic senses. Psychic art is practising this inborn ability. You can call it inner knowing, your gut feeling, or your intuition. I am sure you have had a situation where you walked into a room, and your spidery sense went on red alert, and you had to leave the room. You may have the same with a person you have never met before. That is your psychic sense working. Psychic art allows us to work consciously with this gift.

For me, psychic art is a creative process in which I create art while staying connected to my Divine presence. I can also channel messages or energies from unseen realms. For instance, you can see my ongoing series of Celestial Portals of Light, which features the colour rays and crystals of the Archangel to which the painting is connected.

Psychic art is a realm of mystery and wonder, encompassing drawings, paintings, sculpture, and even automatic writing. It captures elements of spiritual dimensions, messages from the beyond, visions, and energies that are not consciously accessible, inviting you to delve into this enigmatic world.

There are a few significant methods and philosophies that guide psychic art:

1. Spirit Art: The artist acts as a medium, allowing a spirit or guide to control or influence the creative process. Sometimes, the spirit is said to be a well-known deceased artist, and the resulting work may resemble that artist's style. Other times, the spirit is an unnamed entity.

2. Automatic Drawing or Painting: This method involves the artist creating without conscious thought, allowing the hand to move freely across the canvas. The idea is to let go of rational control, letting subconscious or external influences dictate the composition. This technique has roots in Surrealism and can resemble automatic writing, a method often used in psychic and mediumistic practices.

3. Channelled Messages in Art: Some psychic artists use their art as a tool to deliver messages from the spirit world. These artworks may include symbols, colours, and forms intended to convey particular messages, heal, or inspire specific emotions in the viewer.

4. Healing and Energy Art: This is a significant aspect of psychic art, focusing on channelling healing energies. Often using colour and form to affect the viewer’s mental or emotional state, this type of art is linked to beliefs in energy healing. It suggests that specific colours, shapes, or symbols can carry vibrations that resonate with the viewer, offering comfort and hope.

5. Visual Representations of Auras or Spirits: Some artists aim to capture the "aura" or energy of a person, place, or spirit on canvas. This often involves abstract colours and shapes that reflect their intuitive perceptions of invisible energies or spirits around them.

Historically, psychic art gained attention in the late 19th and early 20th centuries alongside the Spiritualist movement.

Today, psychic art remains a niche but lively field, often associated with metaphysical beliefs, spiritual healing, and energy work.
