With these paintings, I aim to encourage contemplative states.   Allowing the observer to somewhat dissolve - as we do in the presence of a living landscape.  Although some art aims to challenge, mine offers a sense of space to the observer.  

 

When drawing, I enjoy unedited line.  Committing to the first touch.  Adding words to communicate another perspective; what's in my mind -  a different form of contemplation -  with dialogue.  Still the aim is to encourage meditative ponderings - and perhaps to encourage a smile.   

 

Beki Adam is an emerging artist.   Her love of painting, drawing and photography found various outlets during 17 years living as a Buddhist nun in various monasteries from Scotland to New York and the Himalaya.   Her work is enriched by meditative experience.  

 

Now living back in Sussex, on Wolstonbury Hill she is inspired by her surroundings and well as her spiritual path Living in over 65 acres of stunning landscape gives a unique and integrated perspective.  Beki is delighted to be developing her art practice which in turn helps fund careful land management and preservation.  

Excited to have sent off my entries.. Let's see!  They are line works with dialogue - one of my favourite topics.. and perfectly matching the 2025 curator theme.  Sometimes I wonder if I like 'silent dialogue' so much because I spent 3 years in silent retreat.. and didn't allow myself to write any notes..
