Painter Akiane Kramarik on Her Art and Spiritual Journey!!
 

Akiane is a worldwide acclaimed child prodigy who began drawing at 4,   and painting at 6, teaching herself and learning mostly from her own keen observation and study.

At 4, she had a life-changing spiritual transformation, bringing her atheist family to God. The inspiration for her art and also literature comes from her visions, dreams, observations of people, nature and God. With her art coming from the hand of GOD.

She is considered to be one of the most recognized artists in the world, sharing her wisdom and gifts with millions of people.

 Fearlessly dedicated to expressing her spiritual journey and the worlds in her dreams          and visions, artist Akiane Kramarik has insights into humanity that reach for the highest understanding of the universe and flow unrestrained from her mind onto the canvas.

Mirroring her paintings and their subject matter, she radiates a sense of wonder at life  and expresses the complexities  of our existence  and its mysteries. She has traveled the world over, connecting with and inspiring others through her paintings, with the ultimate purpose of spreading hope.

Despite their poverty, Kramarik’s family encouraged her to pursue her artistic gift after  she began to draw at the age of 4. Her drawings were first done with whatever she could get her hands on: pencils, crayons, or food on her dinner plate.

By the age of 8, Kramarik’s renderings had progressed to become shockingly realistic.   Her paintings also started to reflect her inner consciousness and perceptions.

She detailed and illustrated her visions, including those of some enigmatic and multidimensional worlds.  She also depicted her vision of Jesus Christ in her painting   “The Prince of Peace,” which became one of her most famous works. Kramarik had set       a ritual to dutifully wake up at 2 a.m. and tiptoe down to her little studio to paint these visions.

At this point, her parents decided to share her paintings with their small community in Idaho. Soon after, Kramarik and her deep, solemn, and hopeful paintings were invited to “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which featured a series on gifted children. Kramarik instantly gained international recognition. Her family was able to escape poverty and share the gift of her visions and her message with the world.

Despite the complexities of the modern world, Kramarik, now 23, holds fast to the youthful wonder she possessed since her earliest days of painting. She also remains humble and focused.

In an interview with The Epoch Times, Kramarik shares her insights, her paintings,       and their meanings.

The Epoch Times: You grew up in poverty in rural Idaho without a TV or other    modern distractions. How do you think that influenced who you are?
Akiane Kramarik: Even though we lived in poverty, we were blessed with abundant happiness in our family. Laughing, talking, playing, improvising, and creating were our daily entertainment. I did not know what boredom or superficial entertainment was because every minute was [full of] meaningful and creative play; we made our own toys from cardboard boxes, sticks, stones, and clay. We made our own music, and we created our own school.

We were also entrusted with huge responsibilities as soon as we were able to walk (and   we all walked quite early: 8 to 9 months). We cooked, did laundry, cleaned, took care of our sick dad, and walked with our mom, door to door, in two feet of snow selling food in different neighborhoods in order to make ends meet.

The poverty was my blank canvas upon which I could create more freely. And as I grew and matured, I never forgot the humble beginnings my family had to go through and never, ever took any day, any gift, or any comfort for granted.

The Epoch Times: You said in a YouTube video that the best teacher of painting you could have is yourself. Are we our own best teachers in our lives as well?
Ms. Kramarik: Being self-taught in art does not mean that I am my own best teacher. My best teacher is life and everyone who is consciously or unconsciously participating in it. Every single being, inanimate or animate, influences my life, and my responsibility is to creatively reciprocate such generosity, whether it is on canvas, in film, for the kitchen table, horse farm, or mayor’s office.

At the age of 6, during my early experimentation in art, I became curious of what other children were doing at my age. My mother and I came up with a brilliant idea: to invite children from many different towns to draw together.

I interpreted that experience as the foundation of my motivation and determination          to share my art with many more people around the world.  As a student of life, I was challenged every day to experiment and to explore the unknown territories and learn about art the hard way. I discovered every technique by observing humans, live animals, and natural tones of vast landscapes in [the] 30 countries I lived in or visited.

Real experiences, visions, and dreams were my starting point, but it was my duty                to interpret those ideas, transform them, and then detail them. An artist gets to see everything first in the rough, just like a diamond.

Every day, I see ordinary things in this extraordinary world, and I see extraordinary things in this ordinary world. To be able to create cinematic-like experience from a simple sound, object, color, emotion, or scenery takes patience and confidence. …
My mission to this day is … to use my art and writings to bring back hope to people who seek it. My lifetime motto is also still the same: I don’t wait for inspiration, inspiration always waits for me.

“Footsteps of Eternity,” 2008, by Akiane Kramarik. Acrylic on canvas. “Our yearning for profound and wholesome connections stays within us; however, this world rarely meets our expectations—with our first mortal breath, we, immortal beings, forget our entire infinite experience.” ~Footsteps of eternity (Courtesy of Akiane Kramarik)

The Epoch Times: In “Footsteps of Eternity,” you touch on different characteristics        of a person’s life: that our existence is much more complicated than what we see on the surface, or what we are aware of.     What were you trying to capture in this painting?
Ms. Kramarik: I painted “Footsteps of Eternity” at the age of 13. The painting depicts part of our spiritual journey—the journey of our soul [our higher self] that is able to be present in multiple places, all at the same time. …
Respect and appreciation of our earthly life—plain, brief, confusing, painful, remarkable, or even cataclysmic—is vital for our spiritual well-being. Our experiences are waiting for us; we simply choose to live through the challenges and mistakes. If we don’t live through difficulties, we cannot see the solved puzzle at the end. Our forgetfulness of our divine self and God’s presence and purpose for us is part of [life’s] mystery.

The Epoch Times: That “art is life outside of life” is an idea you shared with             others in interviews in the past. Could you elaborate on that a bit more?
Ms. Kramarik: Art is life within life and life outside of life. It is a design of nature, a design of humanity, and a design of countless worlds. There is not a single element in nature or humanity without some artistic design and expression. We create our life with our minds and hearts. That is why art is inseparable from the most complex fabric of our thoughts and feelings. Inspiration and epiphanies are experienced when mind and heart meet.

The Epoch Times: Is it our relationship with ourselves that takes the most work? Makes the most difference? How you feel about yourself and your relationship to your paintings?
Ms. Kramarik: Our relationship with ourselves is our relationship with our universe. The more we are connected to [our] infinite possibilities and responsibilities …, the more completely we are able to appreciate our being here—our mission, our calling, our purpose.

Comprehending the significance of our living here forms a complete peace of mind that we could feel every day. It is the assurance of our oneness with everyone, the conviction that we are all part of that collective puzzle, part of one and the same spirit, part of the grand divinity, part of each and everyone we will meet today on a train, in a coffee shop, in a bookstore, at school, or in a neighborhood park.

The art of life is loving and listening to one another. When we feel sad, all we need to do   is to count our blessings, no matter how few we notice, so we can feel grateful for what we have been given. Sadness soon disappears and, in return, we get inspired to bless others. …

What we all share is “awareness.” We are in an invisible intertwined web. The more we move [toward awareness], the more we get to experience a wider and more complete range of relationships and creations.

I hope my art would be part of that web. When people get the chance to see other worlds,   I hope they will trust their own sensitive compass to navigate through [to] true reality.

The Epoch Times: Your live your life very deliberately in pursuing your artistic vision and following your own path in life. Is that where the learning and truly understanding yourself begins, not in conforming to others but in conforming to our own true selves?
Ms. Kramarik: We each have a different purpose. True understanding and learning could still be achieved by conforming to others, because, sooner or later, the maturity of seeing the cause and effect brings forth the most fragrant fruition of the truth. …

The blessing is not in fully knowing yourself or fully knowing the whole truth. The blessing is in the peace of not knowing, yet being true to the purpose that is given to us “from above.”

… Living every moment as if it was our first and last is a genuine life of gratitude, acceptance, and wisdom. …

And who fulfills such way of living the best? Children.

Children’s simplicity,  their eagerness  to learn  from their surroundings,  being content    with not knowing everything yet trusting the caretakers for guidance is the most advanced spiritual achievement within the parameters of all imperfect worlds.

Children seek for answers in the purest way: humility, peace, childlike enthusiasm, acceptance, and sincerity. … That’s why my frequent portrayal of children in my art        is     my wholehearted appreciation of this remarkable manifestation: childhood.

Childhood is a provisional treasure. We can never be children again if we are fully         aware adults in our human lifespan, but we can be much happier adults if we can    emulate childlike innocence, faith, hope, [and] lightheartedness.

 Depicts transformation between childhood and adulthood. Climbing from one frame of time into another, we acquire more wisdom and more compassion, yet we lose simplicity, innocence, and pure wonder [that] only childhood can provide.

Between frames is a symbol of our terrestrial existence where we are trying to escape       the frames but end up being entangled inside larger and larger frames, until the frame    we try to fit in is so large that we lose our sense of reality,  …  “Between the Frames”  is literally falling frames—[the] heroic, yet at times tragic effort to comprehend our human and divine destiny and our spirituality; our intense search for love, beauty, happiness,    and wisdom; our epic journey that we never finish.

Preview  ”Lilies of the Valley” By Akiane

Wow, I just researched lillies of the valley and they ARE poisonous just like us humans could be to the earth!                         The Lily of the Valley was St. Therese’s favorite flower.
 ☺️I can not thank you enough for bringing this into the light. Was reading Song Of Solomon 2 in the Bible the other day, and a message came to me a few days later, saying, “If you don’t stop to smell the Rose’s, you cannot see the Lillie’s down below.” This can be interpreted many ways, but my feeling is God is represented as the Rose, and Jesus Christ as the Lilies. Thank you Akiane. Your paintings are incredibly beautiful and inspiring. I think you are an Angel from heaven..👏❤🙋💚😇

I hope everyone enjoyed the painting titled ”The Vision”. I would not be where I am today
if it was not for God and the great support from people like you.
Akiane Kramarik – Painting The Impossible 
    Image result for painting the impossible
I believe this could be the face of Jesus. Her testimony is rather interesting and even compelling. I also find that the diversity at which Jesus genuinely reveals himself is truly outstanding and incomprehensible. Personally I find A LOT of poetry to this and though in a literal sense I still can’t say whether this an accurate portrait or not, but here’s where I find the real beauty of the poetry coming alive.
Rather than thinking that Jesus’ inspiration to her was to bring a portrait of himself to the world, instead I find that Jesus inspired Akiane to dig deep into her own convictions and manifest it through the one thing that she knew how to do. I feel that regardless of what Jesus really looks like, her act of trying to paint the impossible was futile that made itself quite clear near the end, but it wasn’t until she finally covered the rest of the canvas that she in a sense gave her hands over to her Savior.
Once she finally committed to covering it she metaphorically postured herself into type of position that says “I can’t do this!” It’s amazing how many ways Jesus manifests this thought into us and forces us to make a decision. When will we finally realize that God’s commandments are not for us to fulfill and perfectly uphold, but rather they are there for us to look at and give submission to the One who has already conquered evil?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VEs6MfkFzo
