The life and legacy of Artist RA, born under an essential
time in the cosmos, raise in Southeast North Amexem, destined to become a great
artist that will restore a once stolen knowledge and birthright to a people.
Coming from a culture of great wealth and knowledge, now
suffering from political, religious and economic genocide, Ra at an early age
use his art to express and understand his emotions and the world around him.
"It is the heart that most people fight out of ignorance, and it is the
heart that all wars are won. All they need is to see it." Ra once said.
People in the community love Ra's art but felt it was
missing the gospel teachings of the church at the time. Living in a predominant
religious community influence by early foreign settlers, most did not have
knowledge of their own life and cultures before that time. "Our people
never followed a book stolen from other cultures," he said to a friend,
"we always had our own knowledge of who and what “God” is, not a belief.
We followed the movements of planets, the elements, and natural law to
understand how to live." Most didn't understand because they no longer
live by such ways of their forefathers and mothers. After little success of
sharing what he know for the upliftment for his people, Ra then withdrew
himself from the negative in search of a new way to express his knowledge.
After years of studying his own history and lineage from
early ancient America to the present day. And realizing the various religions,
cultures, history, like art, all speaks the one same truth, but in different
ways, “Mind Art” was Ra's new concept of expressing his knowledge and man's
condition.
Pulling from pass realms of wisdom that once sustain great
nations, to understanding perspective and new awareness in consciousness in
this time.
Ra's art, his paintings, his work, is his own personal
journey of awareness, identity, and spiritual transformation.
