The past often follows people like a shadow. Being completely present in the current moment puts an end to the power of the past. A totally new reality, where one feels united with the tangible and intangible reality of nature and one’s environment. The inner silence that is experienced is a dialogue with the invisible world, where one is pulled along to reach a deeper contact with one’s natural mind and body. One’s mind is set free and ends up in the present, where everything is transient and temporary. Living in the now is the key to presence, and letting go of events around you. A better look at life and beauty is the life force of our existence, which we must continue to breathe, cherish and pursue every moment.
Sona Sahakian (1996) is a visual artist based in the Hague, the Netherlands. She graduated from the department Fine Arts at the Royal Academy of the Arts , The Hague. Her works consist of paintings, drawings, collages, photographs , installations and films (video art). In recent years she has participated in various groups exhibitions and projects.
Her works are about the search for an inner experience of time, where memories are made experienceable in the shape of fixation and transformation. She strives for a fusion of past and present , which creates a dynamic and timeless dimension. The transience, the cycle of human existence – life, death and rebirth – plays an important role in this; this transforms our reality and strengthens our human consciousness. In her art she wants to stimulate people’s imagination and sensory experiences in which the traces of the past are revived in the present, which remains anchored in her memory and thus enriches her personal history. In this way she wants to inspire people to make an inner journey by really feeling and discovering for themselves what the treasury of their existence is.
