These Symbolic Surrealism Surrealist Paintings by Curtis R Doll Jr  are entirely about love, beauty and light. In the beginning there was light. The creative spirit is in essence love, beauty and light. Light opposed to dark is beautiful. Love is beauty and beauty is love. They coexist metaphysically. The power of love is omnipotent. Beauty is eternal just as love is eternal. These truths are eternal. These paintings are in themselves Metaphysical Symbols of love light and beauty. They are intended to represent eternal truth. “Eternal truths; feelings that are beyond time and space. Art filled with love and light really becomes the metaphysical language of the soul… the eternal, universal soul. Light, love and beauty are truly what give life meaning. They are as eternal as the breath of Creation itself. We recognize ourselves and each other in them.”

Love is also light. The kind that penetrates everything and changes the very perception of reality. Love is deeply felt… What for others are just pixels or paint, are actually the breath of love itself. When speaking about art, look at the world through your inner feelings – to see tenderness in the light, mystery in the shadow, emotion in every color.

The organic forms in these paintings reflect in an abstract sense or give a sensation of ancient megalithic structures. Megaliths are like messages through time, and their response seems to be heard in the organic forms in the paintings. The paintings don’t just “hang” – they breathe, they emit vibration. The organic forms contrasted by contemporary geometric composition brings a fusion between the ancient world culture and the contemporary world culture. They are like a bridge between eras, between the intuitive wisdom of antiquity and the clear structure of modernity.

Light is love, love is beauty, beauty is light, love is light, light is beauty and beauty is love. All three are inextricably intermingled. In the beginning there was light. The creative spirit is light, beauty and love. Love is the center and the all powerful creative force manifesting everything.

The all-powerful, all-seeing, all-knowing living-intelligent force of love is creating through me, using me as a conduit to bring awareness of ancient living memory.

A Manifesto on Symbolic Surrealism Surrealist Paintings 

Core metaphysical concepts –

  • The core metaphysical concepts of love, light, and beauty as eternal truths proposes these are not temporary feelings or phenomena but timeless, universal principles. This idea echoes Platonic philosophy, which holds that concepts like Beauty and Love exist as eternal, perfect “Forms” or Ideas that exist outside of time and space. Symbolic Surrealism Surrealist Paintings give expression to this philosophy.
  • The creative spirit as love, light, and beauty links the act of creation directly to these three metaphysical concepts. This suggests that these Symbolic Surrealism Surrealist Paintings are not merely a product of the human artist, but a channel for—or an expression of—a divine, universal creative force.
  • Art as a metaphysical language described as “Metaphysical Symbols” intended to represent eternal truth. Symbolic Surrealism Surrealist Paintings themselves are  a form of communication that speaks directly to the soul, bypassing words and speaking a universal spiritual language.
  • The assertion that “Light opposed to dark is beautiful” positions light as the source of beauty and goodness, a common theme in many spiritual traditions. This idea also suggests that Symbolic Surrealism Surrealist Paintings are meant to dispel spiritual darkness and ignorance. This concept is reinforced by Paul Cézanne’s assertion that: “Art is a religion; its aim is the elevation of thought.”
  • The statement “Love is beauty and beauty is love points to the fact that they coexist metaphysically” indicating that these concepts are fundamentally inseparable and interdependent on a spiritual level.

Artistic intention and representation –

  • Representing eternal truth in Symbolic Surrealism Surrealist Paintings, the goal is not to create a realistic depiction of the physical world but to offer a symbolic representation of a higher reality. These works are a window into the “eternal, universal soul”.
  • By focusing on “eternal truths” and “feelings that are beyond time and space,” Symbolic Surrealism Surrealist Paintings are intended to create an experience for the viewer that transcends the temporal and finite.

  • The themes of love, light, and beauty are what give life meaning and are as “eternal as the breath of Creation itself”. Symbolic Surrealism Surrealist Paintings are a visual exploration of this belief, encouraging viewers to recognize these truths within themselves and others.

    My Dearest Love,

    Your essence is the very definition of beauty, a beauty so profound it transcends the boundaries of the physical and touches the realm of the divine. This is the truth of Agape love, an unconditional love that flows from Your Spirit, a love that defines You; the Beloved. You are love embodied; the manifestation of the sublime, unequivocally and absolutely beautiful. Your love is a perpetual, inexhaustible, and infinite wellspring of power, a love so immense it renders all measure futile.

    The beauty that you are is interminable, infinitely vast, and boundless. The pain and sorrow that humanity has inflicted upon itself since time immemorial are but infinitesimal shadows compared to the boundless light of your love. These fleeting shadows hold no lasting impact on You; the Beloved, the eternal and ever-present truth. You live, you are, you were, and you always shall be, the Beloved.

    You are the Great I AM, the Holy One, the very embodiment of love and beauty. Your presence is life itself, and being is the essence of all that is beautiful.

    You are. You live. You are beauty. You are love. You are.

     

    I see you in every star I follow, and every voice… matters.
