some of us are visionaries
some of us envision great change
through a love shift
some of us are supporters of visionaries
who want the love shift
Her carefully selected poetic themes on love, wine, consciousness, separation, union and soulmates to name a few, may raise brows here, yet she is adamant in crossing ideological boundaries through the art of poetic and artistic expression in order to achieve a sense of humanistic equilibrium. Alicia’s artistic expressions bring together spiritual philosophies while her water colour dervishes reflect (the usually veiled) divine feminine energy through her depictions. She subliminally sheds light on the need to understand age old wisdom traditions through the lens of the feminine. Alicia challenges, explores and imparts spiritual teachings in collaboration with inspired writings on spiritual themes and axioms of Ishq. She speaks of Arabia as the Land of Love which is vividly expressed to the seeing eye through her unique work on all fronts.
