Mauricco Zaraj - Vision Beyond the Ordinary

October 26, 2024

Mauricco Zaraj

As a self-taught artist, my journey into art began in 2013, guided by intuition, meditation, and a profound connection with nature and the cosmos. In this lifetime, I have not followed the traditional path of formal art education, nor have I had role models to emulate. This absence of external influence has empowered me to cultivate my own unique style and technique—one that merges the ethereal with the tangible. 

My creations are reflections of cosmic energies, ancient symbolism, and universal truths that transcend time and space. Each piece of artwork serves as a visual portal, offering viewers an opportunity to connect with the deeper layers of existence. Through sacred geometry, celestial events, and symbolic representations, my art explores themes that invite personal and spiritual transformation. 

The process of creating my artwork is alchemical—each canvas is not just a space for expression, but a mirror of my own inner transformation. Often, I take older works and breathe new life into them, symbolizing the continuous evolution we all undergo. The transformation of a painting is a metaphor for the transformation of the self, from old to new, from illusion to truth. 

I use a variety of mediums, including oil, acrylic, and various structuring materials, blending them in layers to capture complex forms and energetic flows. The creation of my work is never a predictable journey—I begin without a fixed idea of the outcome. Instead, I rely on my connection to the timeless dimension of inspiration, allowing the artwork to reveal itself through my hands, step by step. 

Every brushstroke is guided by an inner knowing, and each completed work carries a message meant to inspire, uplift, and heal. My art is more than a visual experience; it is a tool for transformation and self-discovery. 

My greatest hope is that my work serves as a source of light in a world where many are searching for meaning and direction. It is my offering to those who seek to align with their highest potential, to connect with the sacred, and to walk a path of creative self-expression. 

ART BEYOND THE ORDINARY 

When there is a WILL, there is a way. Everything starts from inside as a surge of inspiration to create something that needs to emerge in the physical world and be seen.  

Each painting I create is a snapshot of the cosmos and cosmic events . it reflects my inner self and the message I want to convey to the outside world. During the creative process, I receive the name and the message for each artwork. It is a form of channelling through colours, shapes, structures, and symbols, all in complete harmony and balance. 

The Creative Journey:

  • Inspiration from Within: The process begins with an inner surge of inspiration. 
  • Channeling the Cosmos: Each artwork is infused with the cosmic energies and events at the time of creation. 
  • Unpredictable Vision: I never start with a fixed vision of the final product. The unpredictability keeps the process exciting and dynamic. 
  • Timeless Dedication: The creation process is timeless. It doesn't matter how long it takes, as my inspiration comes from a timeless dimension. 

What matters is using my full creativity and love to create something that serves as a source of positive inspiration in a world turned upside down. These artworks are flames of hope and prosperity. 

The Process: 

  • Step-by-Step Creation: I start with the first step and work patiently until the artwork is completed. 
  • Inner Connection: The complexity of my artworks requires an inner connection and guiding intuition to bring them to completion. 
  • Time Investment: From a few weeks to a few months, I dedicate myself to one painting, co-creating with cosmic energies to bring forth something extraordinary. 

This process, which I call "art beyond the ordinary," demands a disciplined lifestyle. It requires persistence, patience, continuous alignment with the inner self, and gratitude for the opportunity to be a conduit of visionary messages. 

Supporting the Creative Process: 

  • Organic Diet: Eating only organic food to maintain a strong, healthy body. 
  • Physical Activity: Regular exercise to stay fit and energized. 
  • Nature Connection: Spending time in nature and mountains, where energies are purer and inner vision is clearer. 
  • Cold Swims: Engaging in cold swims in winter to invigorate the body and mind. 

These elements are essential pieces of the puzzle that support my creative process, allowing me to produce artworks that transcend the ordinary.

Creating visionary artworks involves integrating complex formulas related to colors, shapes, and structures. Each new step in this process feels like standing at a crossroads of unlimited possibilities. With sometimes hundreds of steps, each requiring special attention and discernment to ensure it fits into the big picture, the journey is intricate and demanding. 

The Journey of Creation: 

  • Complex Integration: Combining colours, shapes, and structures is a meticulous process. 
  • Unlimited Possibilities: Each step offers a multitude of possibilities, making the creative process dynamic and ever-changing. 
  • Attention to Detail: Every step requires special attention to ensure it aligns with the overall vision of the artwork. 

Persistence and Intuition: 

  • Trial and Error: I don't always get the right formula on the first attempt, but I'm not afraid to erase and retry until it feels right. 
  • Inner Alignment: My inner feeling guides me, telling me if a step is harmonious and aligned with the rest of the creation. 
  • Dedication: I never leave a painting unfinished or unattended, dedicating the same focus and commitment to my art as I do in my personal life. 

This process reflects my belief that persistence and inner guidance lead to the desired results. It’s a testament to the dedication required to bring visionary art to life. 

ARTISTIC ALCHEMY

In my artistic journey, it’s not uncommon for me to revisit a painting that has been with me for a long time.

These pieces often carry a deep significance and reflect a specific period of my life. Taking such a painting and transforming it is an alchemical process - turning something old into something new.

This transformation showcases how far my inner journey has progressed because each artwork is a reflection of the artist's soul.

While some might say it’s easier to begin with a blank canvas and create a new story, there is profound magic in transforming the old. This process is akin to addressing parts of one’s life that need intervention—taking the "old you" and bringing forth a "shining you." 

And came a day when I decided to transform the WHEEL OF LIFE, a painting from 2016 which was made of four canvases joined together. I felt a deep urge for this transformation which was a deeper urge for my inner transformation.

I invested 4 months , during the last winter/spring season of 2024 in completing this artworks. During the works I received the new name “ALPHA CENTAURY” and then one day  a young lady in her late years (80’s) came in my atelier and asking me what is the name of the painting.

I told her the name and she was pondering on that and as a comment she said this sounds to me like the “King Of Gods”. So I said , let it be “Alpha Centauri, The King Of Gods”.  

While creating “THE GREAT PROMISE”  which was also a task of transformation, a white point just fell from the colour bottle on the canvas in the place where there was not intended to be. My first thought was to remove it, because it does not fit the formula but then I said to myself, lets leave it there, there is always time for that. Instead lets see the perfect imperfection. And then I understood why I gave the name for this artwork “THE GREAT PROMISE” because that white point was the smaller me while the great circle, the complete artwork represented the “Whole I”, my Mighty I, My Powerful and blessed I“. The I of my deepest desires, the I which I promised again to remember and Be. Some of us, before coming to this planet made a promise to our selves, a GREAT PROMISE  that we will be born again as a true self and remember why we came here and what is the purpose of our coming, our mission.
