Alex Grey

    Alex Grey es un artista cuya obra explora la interconexión del cuerpo, la mente y el espíritu. Sus primeras obras abordaron temas de muerte y trascendencia, que continúan tejiendo su trayectoria artística. Tras una experiencia mística transformadora, el arte de Grey se centró en representar la realidad multidimensional y los campos de energía sutil. Su serie "Sacred Mirrors" (Espejos Sagrados) detalla intrincadamente la anatomía humana en el contexto de la evolución cósmica, examinando experiencias humanas arquetípicas.

      This unique series of paintings takes the viewer on a graphic, visionary journey through the physical, metaphysical, and spiritual anatomy of the self. From anatomically correct rendering of the body systems, Grey moves to the spiritual/energetic systems with such images as "Universal Mind Lattice," envisioning the sacred and esoteric symbolism of the body and the forces that define its living field of energy. Includes essays on the significance of Grey's work by Ken Wilber, the eminent transpersonal psychologist, and by the noted New York art critic, Carlo McCormick.
