Tomás Sánchez, Encontrar al Contemplador, 2005

Sunday stillness… Cuban artist Tomás Sánchez paints awe-inspiring landscapes, which generate an immediate sense of calm and wonder; it is unsurprising to learn that he is devoted to yoga and meditation, both of which he practices daily. “The interior spaces that I experience in meditation are converted into the landscapes of my paintings; the restlessness of my mind transformed into landfills,” he has said. “When I paint, I experience meditative states; through meditation, I achieve a union with nature, and nature, in turn, leads me to meditation.” Wishing you all a restful day.
