Gnostic Art
The objective of art is the pursuit of beauty in its different manifestations. Art is the faithful testimony of that great human work which we call culture. Gnosis is present in all the great works of universal literature and in the works of the geniuses of music, painting, sculpture and architecture.
We find Gnostic art in archaic settlements: in the pyramids and ancient obelisks of the Egypt of the pharaohs, in ancient Mexico, among the Mayans and the archaeological remains of the Aztecs, Zapotecs, Toltecs, etc.; amidst the ancient medieval parchments of the Chinese, Phoenicians, Assyrians, etc.; in the hieroglyphs and bas-reliefs of ancient cultures; in the painting and sculpture of the Renaissance; in the music of Beethoven, Mozart, Liszt, Wagner; in the great works of universal literature, in the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer, in Dante’s Divine Comedy and in many others, which contain the same principles of universal wisdom, presented in diverse forms and sometimes hidden behind the veil of philosophical symbolism.
There are two types of art: the first is subjective art, the expression of a conditioned consciousness;
the second is the (royal) regal art of nature, a transcendental art that reflects the wisdom of the universe.
