ONCE IN a blue moon you
will see something that gives
you deep pleasure, that feeds
the soul and stimulates the

senses. It could be the face of

a loved one, or it could bea
visual image such as a draw-
ing or painting that stirs you
and makes you smile as you
study it and discover its
meaning.

Sometimes a painting, just as a
face. tells a story without words.
Without the need for explanation,
you intuitively understand the
meaning,

On even rarer occasions you
will experience an image of colors
that have the same effect: they tift
you up and please your eves as a
rainbow does when it suddenly
appears on the sky.

Phad such a rare experience
recently whea [ walked into the
Torres Gallery and saw Katharina
Zalainai’s work. The room
appeared filled with colored light
from her paintings: they seemed to
glow in subtly blended hues from
pile yellow to vibrating red. from
subdued earth colors to the bright
blue of the sky. With a creativity
that comes from the soul and a skill
that comes from many years of
patient practice, Katharina has

DESIGN OF THE TIMES

painted light and has given it color.
Let her tell it in her own words:
“I'm obsessed by the transcenden-
tal quality of light. According to
celtic mythology, twilight is the
time when the souls of the living
and dead can communicate; when
the material world withers and the
spirit awakens. Art is like light. a
great transformer, communicator. It
is the silent language of the soul;
mukes communication possible
between natural and supernatural.”
