This art is purported to be inspired by a rare ancient art form. It adapts the technique of the ancient way of knowledge by insinuation. These works are objects for meditation. Hidden secrets inhere to a subtle line or color even if a modern dress disguises the intricate subtle matrix beneath a chaotic splash of gaudy glosses. The inchoate ancient abstract forms were smuggled out through ancient portals to other galaxies hidden in the caves of Bhutan. It is said that a thousand messages can be written into the crevices of a single stalagmite if beams of inspiration collide in the manner of the ancient prophesies that ingrained an enlightened code into the woven threads of silky wisdom. But when is poetry abstract, and when is it a riddle and a rhyme-- it depends on how long one dreams, and sees stars in the sky and mind. It is to be contemplated in the mind of the beholder. A romp without pomp is best enjoyed in the last laugh that breezes the day in a grasp of joy.
