Ariel Fabian Lijtmae：由画入境，打通任督二脉，开启冥想之旅（上）

To Ariel Fabian Lijtmaer, the practice of meditation does not feel so real until he accidentally had an experience in nature on a bridge.

“I felt myself becoming a note of vibration in time. And feeling my body melt away. That was a really powerful experience for me. That made me think meditation is a real tool,”Lijtmaer said in an Zoom interview.

He was just a beginner at that time. “My first 10 times I was like sitting there, trying to breathing a little bit and nothing happened; but this time, I think being on nature and being like sitting in a river, the whole situation, things are different. Something happened internally. And that really woke me up and, woke me up to the power of meditation.”

Lijtmaer was born in 1974 in New York City to Jewish parents from Argentina. He’s curiosity about everything especially the creative and spiritual path which made what of him today: He’s an artist, a story teller, a producer and an educator based in Los Angeles. From the snowy peaks of Nepal to the majestic coral reefs of northern Indonesia, he has traveled to over 40 countries to widen his sphere of knowledge and enrich his understanding of human spirit, help him to build systems of sustainability, creativity and wellness.

Lijtmaer’s artworks usually boasts strong colors and movements. “My paintings are soul gateways. My style is what I like to call ‘Spiritual Abstract Expressionism.”

Ariel Fabian Lijtmaer出生于一个来自阿根廷的犹太家庭，并成长在纽约。从小喜爱绘画的他，觉得艺术给了他一个安全的港湾。多文化的成长背景，使得他对于很多事情都充满了好奇心，他热爱艺术，热爱写作，热爱电影，热爱冥想，热爱武术。游历过40多个国家，从尼泊尔的雪山到印尼的海底，从日本的京都到中国西藏，他的成长来源于多文化的熏陶，来源于艺术，也同时来源于大自然。作为艺术家，作家，教育工作者，他善于进行各种艺术，精神层面的探索。大学期间偶然一次的冥想体验，让他仿佛打通任督二脉，在今后的艺术和精神探索方面，逐渐找到了自己独有的方式：画作中将笔刷的流动与呼吸结合，运笔运气，中西方文化就此碰撞。

他的画作颜色浓烈，感染力极强，虽是静态的油画，但观者会感到一种能量的流动。或清新，或自然，或浓烈，或黑暗。

他说他的艺术作品就像一个入口，带领观者找寻更深的精神境界，找寻内心的感受，疗愈心灵。
