Sangchen
Tsomo
“My work speaks the language of silence of bird song and the strange longings
at the edge of ordinariness. It is an invitation beyond, into, through - you.”
Sangchen Tsomo is an artist whose work and life defy simplistic categorization. A Buddhist yogini who lived years in solitary mountain retreat, conga drum master, painter. Reaching beyond the everyday she presents us with meaning made color, made sound, made living force. To enter the world of her art is to discover that the deepest recesses of the human heart and mind are made of mytho-poetic wonderment.
Many of Sangchen’s original works are for sale as well as prints. Check out the Shop for Original Paintings, Magical Altars and Prints.

Twilight
Languages
The ancient most language Sandhyabhasa, Twilight Language, melded verbal and non-verbal communication - it drew, spoke, sang in color, form, motion, diagram. Visual and sensory directness characterized its revelation of mysterious secrets. It was living as language and language as esoteric initiation where communication and communion are not two. Some believe this language is the basis of art flowing out from the mytho-poetic realm of wisdom as living force. As it was in ancient days this language is still spoken by those who journey into the deep places of being.
