Boris Rodnyy Artist Statement My method of receiving the images that I "transmit," is a kind of metaphysical vision, knowledgeable and therefore capable of seeing, possessing knowledge which is characteristic of the Indian concept of Vidya. Vidya is the starting point of an open space that belongs to no one, as written by the meditation master Trungpa Chogyam Rinpoche. In Buddhist philosophy, Vidya is understood as the result of intuitive knowledge. VidyaHaras in Hindu mythology are "holders of knowledge," and Vidya-Rajahs are Buddhist deities who protect earthly beings from demons. In this art creation construct, according Vidya system I consider myself as one who is led rather than one who leads: I surrender to what comes to me and share it with everyone. I transform into "everyone," every viewer of my paintings.
