MADAMA MOVEMENT MODERN SACRED ART (MAMMSA)
What is Modern Sacred Art?
Modern Sacred Art distinguishes itself from traditional religious Sacred Art. It is Modern/Contemporary. It isn’t linked to one specific style but it is The New Stream, Medicine Art from the Heart.
There is a growing interest in the healing power of Art, Music etc. also in museums and scientific publications. Madama developed this practice and insight more than 25 years ago. Specifically in her unframed canvases, painted on both sides. They are the scores at concerts but also challenge people to look in silence at the painting, ‘sit in the large painting’ and create their own story. The Colour Temple is recently the venue for this experience. Modern Sacred Art is Ritual Art, it has essence in its meaning and story.
Art as Medicine that nourishes. It is an ecological way of experiencing art, it gives spiritual, sacred nourishment and enriches your consciousness. You become aware that you are an infinite potential spiritual being, a sovereign domain, a creator.
Sacred Art can be expressed in many different ways, figurative, trans figurative, abstract or cross over. The common denominator is the energetic and healing power. It can be experienced in the work of Rembrandt, Michelangelo Van Gogh, Rothko, Niki de St. Phalle, Frida Kahlo.
The MAMMSA foundation manages Madama’s core collection. The core collection is the fundament for Madama Museum Modern Sacred Art.
