Open House - WHEN the ARTIST PAINTS from NATURAL MIND

WHEN the ARTIST PAINTS from NATURAL MIND: Meditation and Creative Expression

Joanna Rotté holds a conversation with visual artist Daniel Berlin on how his practice of meditation influences his artistic intentions; how he aspires to declutter the thinking mind that his paintings may reflect luminosity of mind; what it means to approach the creative process with relaxed urgency; and how his work aims to communicate uncompromisingly with the viewer.
