Benjamin Creme
is internationally known as a lecturer and author of esoteric
philosophy and ideas. His many books have been published in a
dozen languages.
Born in Scotland
in 1922, he started painting at age 13 and has been a painter
all his life. He lives and works in London, England. His earlier
work was stylized figurative painting, and for some years he
painted many landscapes, rather abstracted.
Since 1964,
his work has been totally esoteric in its meaning, and symbolic
abstract in its nature. The element of fire, which he sees as
basic in all life, is of paramount importance in his work.
A deep knowledge
of the Ageless Wisdom teachings, and the long practice of meditation
is the creative basis for his work. Since 1959 he has enjoyed
the inspiration and stimulus of one of the Masters of Wisdom
Who lives in the Himalayas. This has had a profound effect on
his life and painting.
The lithographs
are made from his original oil paintings.
