faq 2 - what is the story behind Elia Astfjord's meditative art? In the 1980's, Elia Astfjord began to use his skills in painting as a means, in order to deepen his self-knowledge. He soon realised, however, that his abstract art actually contained some essential elements, which could also be of important use to other people. The art transformed to also being a therapist tool for meditation, and he has nowadays, from increasing demand, combined his accomplished artistry with teaching in meditation.
The term “meditative art” comes not only from the use of the art as a tool for meditation, but also from the fact that the art is being created by the artist while in an altered, meditative, state of mind.
The final product, the painting, may seem erratic, but it is far from it. The art is being created by bringing together decades of experience and knowledge of meditation, artistry and alternative therapy.
