Procession of Luminescence by Doran DaDa in Berkeley
Procession of Luminescence
My new mural was painted in Concord, Ca. in June 2022.
It was part of the Creative Concord mural event, and can be found at Gesinee's Alterations 2355 Concord Blvd.
It depicts a royal court holding ceremonial proceedings with noble deities in position.
It’s a joyous celebration with lotus flowers, fanfare and divine pageantry.
The moment has come for ancient wisdom to illuminate itself again.
The mystical kundalini-uraeus-serpents coil up the staff of Tehuti (Thoth).
Activating the winged pine cone, opening all chakras, and the 3rd eye of perception.
In recent years, I created a series of artworks based on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic-alchemy. The works are a personal journey driven by a deep lifelong connection to Egypt and Eastern Africa, where a recent DNA test confirmed my lineage and ancestral memory.
The artworks employ the African American science of "conjure”, to manifest esoteric symbolism of the hieroglyphs. I summon metaphysical archetypes in my works as I decode ancient hieroglyphs, reconstructing them into simplistic or abstract 2-dimensional acrylic paintings, murals, and digital art. I intend to connect people to divine knowledge and inspire a higher spiritual awareness.
Born in San Francisco, I received my BFA in The Netherlands at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and my MFA in digital arts in San Francisco at the Academy of Art University. I have a multi-career as a painter, new media artist (digital art/NFT), and a visual effects compositor on feature films and TV. Both painting and digital art have been my two intertwining lifelong passions.
