‘The blind and the seeing are not equal’-
‘nor are the darkness and light
The shade and the light are not equal
nor are the living and the dead.”
Koran ,”The Creator”,19
‘Could the blind and the seeing ever be equal?”…
The great masters used this verse as a response to enemies of painting who warned that illustrating was forbidden by Islam and that painters would be sent to Hell on Judgement Day.

Dhyanasankalpam is an Openstudio for Indian (Kerala) murals,and here we regard the pursuit of pure aesthetic experience,as Yoga. Its an exalted experience not just for the individual artist but for the whole community and even humanity, that which touches and consorts with every aspect of Indian life. We at Dhyanasankalpam create works that would last a millennium or two if not for posterity, like the murals of Ajanta.All that you have to ensure for us are walls that would last just as long.
