Five thesis of the Esoteric Order of Art

I. Personality

Esoteric Art doesn't follow trends or movements in the arts. Chosen subject matter shows the personality of the artist. Then a subject matter will alter in the mind of the artist. It will be influenced by the memories and conscious choosing. Artist is in a constant dialog with the subject matter and through this dialog it will evolve.

II. Honesty

External influences should not corrupt the artist. Work should always reflect the innerself or soul and experiences of the artist. It takes courage to see yourself in the creation. The most challenging thing in the whole creative process is to face your inner self and your subconscious world. True involvement to the creation comes from signing it with your soul. Maker must listen to himself/ herself and change only when it feels right.

III. Mysticality

Great deal of mysticality that is evident in the esoteric art comes from the subconscious. Subconscious messages should not be censored or beautified – they should be raw and strange as they usually are. Way for a subconscious to become conscious is through free association and sensitivity towards reality. Creatures, symbols and places that you come across in the Esoteric are from the dreams of the maker.

IV. Emotion

To devote oneself to the emotionality is one of the most important qualifications of the Esoteric. It liberates imagination and makes possible to travel far away to the unknown territory. Art can also wake forgotten emotions from ones own past. Going through emotions in the perspective of a beholder can be liberating experience. Human can experience all the possible emotions in the art without ever losing the sense of security. Exaggeration and theatricality are approved effects of the art.

V. Idea

Art that has some idea can wake and excite intelligence (trait). Idea doesn’t have to be on the level of the conception – it can be in the way of realization, for example in the painting technique. Important is the makers thought process and the reflection of that.
