Ojas Michele Azzaro, Meditative Vision Designer is an Italian artist based in Milan. He studied Set Design at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan.
His greatest aspiration is to create an objective art, he doesn't recognize himself in the artist who expresses through his emotions or through his personality. Art for him is a way of integration and awareness for the performer as for the user, a deep communication level of consciousness.
The master of reality Osho says: "The objective art, on the other hand, is created by those who "have nothing to throw out, it is completely empty, clean", that is, it is born of a dimension of meditation." Osho
His creative search arises from his profound need to reveal the unknown and finds its expression interpreting the shape of the circle as a way to awareness.
In 1994, when he finished the Academy, he began his artistic research inspired by the Mandala, a spiritual symbol of the Buddhist tradition. He explored the symbol of the circle by initially using sand as in the Tibetan tradition, then he developed his own technique creating more abstract organic shapes.
His paintings are matter-based and made on canvas with modeling paste and acrylic colors, golden leaves and often according to the golden section ratio; he also exhibited some installations at the Arsenale in Venice and at MUSE Museum of Science in Trento – Italy.
In his artworks – unique ad elegant pieces of art – you can feel the vibrant search for the harmony of an inner center. To him, they are not only a creative object, but also a ritual where forms and symbols become the gateway to awareness and evoke atmospheres and sensations of parallel worlds.
This is the power and the charm of the shapes that characterize his works, a way to return to one’s center and at the same time go beyond it. His works show different influences, most of all the richness of the Baroque deriving from his Sicilian origins and the Zen style resulting from his exploration of Eastern philosophies and practices, which grant a touch of elegance and meditative energy to the space where they are displayed.
Since 2010 he has been leading creative awareness courses where the participants can experience the connection between creativity and meditation, with the support of different methods like yoga and breathing, all very useful to free people’s creative potential not only to make art, but also to express it in everyday life.
