workshops with Venosa at such
institutes as The Skyros Institute
on the island of Skyros in Greece,
Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California
and the CIIS (California Institute
of Integral Studies), as well
as private workshops in Boulder,
Colorado and on the Big Island
in Hawaii.
In
her latest work Hoffmann uses
her inner visions as a guide and
the inspiration for her paintings.
She primarily sees herself as
a 'translator' for these visions.
“In the collapse of history,
which is the end, the archaic, the
beginning is all that remains: Ouroboros
once again. Whereas history is built
on temporal ephemera, the contents
of the archaic are embedded in the
self-renewing cosmic experience that
transcends time.”
(Arguelles, The Transpersonal Vision,
pg 278)
'Caught
The transformation toward transpersonal
awareness beyond historical constructs
is what defines the times and the themes
emergence of a humanity that experiences
its existence through cosmic and gaian
relatedness, which exists in the ever
renewing cyclical time of cosmic play,
beyond the socially constructed dialectic
of linear technological progress.
A trans-historical
condition is emerging, the awareness
that we are more than our social categories

is a moment within a vast and primordial
mystery, a cosmic play of energy. We
humans are timeless life forms in an
infinite universe beyond comprehension,
flame-like vortices of consciousness
in a mysterious cosmos that vastly predates
the language we use to describe it.
The visionary
territory of expanded, transpersonal,
spiritual, shamanic awareness, that
wonder and an inexplicable familiarity,
through archetypal resonance with these
images. When receptively witnessed,
these images serve to take the mind
outside of the conventional historical
narrative and into the realms of the
primordial.
In the shamanic
visionary experience, the self is unfolded
through a dance of pattern and meaning,
and this synergy of ‘abstract’
and ‘figurative’ is found
represented in the transpersonal-based
images reflect the nebulous ‘web
without a weaver’, the jewelled,
interdependent realm of spirit that
we ultimately are, and chose to evolve
out of, into the fractal realms of biogenesis
and experience of personality.
The universe
is a hierophany of luminous and evolving
intricacy. It is this richness of form
and diversity of experience that demonstrates
the fullness, fertility and abundance
of Spirit. This abundance is unbounded.

Daniel:
Your work has that connection to the
ahistorical realm.
Yes,
my visionary work is a direct channel
of those otherworldly realities that
are impossible to describe in words,
as their language is one of colour and
form and the message is encoded therein.

has been mostly lost in a goal oriented
materialistic world view.
During
our painting workshop Robert and I teach
the 'Mische Technique'. This technique
is unbeatable when it comes to creating
detail, luminosity of color as well
as translucency. We teach this approach
and we encourage our students to reach
deeply within their souls and spirits
to express their own inner landscapes.
Also during the workshops we present
several slide shows to conceptualize
its long history. This workshop is for
people who dare to express and play
in the medium of oil, in a setting that
can't be beat, together with a group
two weeks of true Spanish life.
Daniel: Why did you choose
Cadaques ?
Cadaques
is our true home and was very instrumental
in both of our creative developments.
It is without a doubt one of the most
beautiful small villages in Spain, if
not on the entire Mediterranean. The
energy is powerful due to its location
between the mountains and the sea. The
culture (Catalan) is as independent
as the Basque and very different from
the rest of Spain. Catalans are gutsy
people, opinionated and rightfully very
proud of their rich heritage. Beauty
is abundant in nature and in the people
that this place attracts. Dali's presence
well as intellectual notoriety to this
town and has made Cadaques a place of
pilgrimage. So no better place for a
painting workshop and the setting for
our event is quite spectacular also.
The workshop takes place on a private
'Cusp'
island
just a stone's throw away form the main
land and allows us to have the luxury
of a beautiful old villa to create and
live in while having easy access to
a vibrant town with a well developed
local and typical nightlife. During
these two weeks we have the opportunity
to create or own world and to weave
and live within our own special creative
matrix.
Daniel: How did the painting
Cusp come about?
To answer this question properly I will
have to explain how I work. Most of
my images are largely unplanned. The
inspiration for a new piece might get
sparked by a specific experience, visual
in a very immediate way by laying out
colour in a purely emotional fashion,
just following my instincts. Later on
I will then proceed to detail and bring
out those forms that call out strongest
to me. In this way the canvas will act
as a mirror for my subconscious or for
my higher self, and reflect deeply situated
feelings, and/or visions obtained in
heightened states of consciousness made
conscious and manifest in this way.
I trust this process explicitly as it
is the most immediate. And the meaning
of my paintings becomes clearer to me
once the pieces have been executed.
Inner dialog with the piece, reflection
as well as the viewers reactions, will
then help me decode the deeper layers
and meaning in time.
Cusp
figure portraying the archetype of the
spiritual female warrior, as many of
my paintings do, came first, and the
image developed from the center outward.
This warrior princess remains present
and centered in the midst of duality,
and has attained perfect balance herein.
This balance has allowed her to build
a bridge to the state of transcendence
and helped her to create permanent peace
elements are represented in this painting,
and merged into one coherent piece,
to represent the numerous traditions
that brought us to this place in time.
I guess to put it all into one line;
