Upgrading the Integral Psyche
Diana Calvario’s art weaves stunning imagery of nature, culture, divine beings, dream states, macro and micro scales of order, into remarkable evocations of creative emergence. Within the Kosmic flows of nested holarchies, what might be the interactive, energetic, and meaningful interplays of these various elements? Calvario’s art shows us the ever emergent circuits of this dance, and does so with profound invention, beauty and grace. Hers is an art that has the unique power to rewire and enhance one’s integral soul—a great achievement and singular aesthetic gift.

From the artist:
“I started feeling the urge to use digital art as a way of expressing my thoughts and feelings in a period of my life when I discovered the integral philosophy and spiritual teachers like Ken Wilber, Andrew Cohen, Don Beck, and Eckhart Tolle. My first contact to the integral world was made via Integral Naked some 4 years ago where I had the chance to meet the most amazing people and where I definitely started not to feel alone with my thoughts anymore and I had one AHA experience after the other. My art reflects a lot of this period of my life and its main purpose is to provoke thinking and meditation.”
About Diana Calvario
As a webmaster, my environment basically invited and inspired me to use digital art as a way of expressing my thoughts, feelings and messages I wished to spread. My main works are photo manipulations sometimes with a surreal touch inviting the viewers to meditate on a variety of spiritual questions. To my friends, my art is said to be imaginative, creative, speculative and real, having a strong connection to nature and to the integral philosophy.
