Using different colors, shapes and designs the artist painted this for one powerful message – The power and beauty of unity. The symbols, colors and shapes may be quite different from one another but united they form an art piece that is vibrant and colorful. The picture is not complete without each one of them playing a part. Different perspectives is what makes this picture complete. This painting represents how different things can work together to create something truly special. This meaningful painting shows that different things when put together can create an outstanding end product. This art piece belongs in your living rooms, meeting rooms, and in any space where different perspectives are made and celebrated

 This painting has such a deep meaning and it is so moving. Our artist is also a teacher and these are his students. It represents a very special moment when these girls graduate into grade 4 marking a big stage in their school system as they are now ‘seniors’ in the school. They receive a red ribbon to be put on the uniform vs. the junior blue one. You can see them smiling with pride and happiness as they pursue their dreams. This painting captures for us the mission of giving every girl a chance at education. This painting shows us how with one opportunity we can fuel dreams and change a life. These girls are proud of making it to the next grade. They want to study and work hard to pursue their dreams. School and the chance to study is not a burden but an opportunity. This moment of moving to the next grade is a joy. We have personally travelled to many countries where children walk for hours just to come to school and in many cases, the first ones to drop out of the school system are girls. We all have a responsibility to create an environment where girls feel supported to pursue education, especially in future skills like science, engineering, technology, arts, and math.

Yasmani lives in Cuba and we met him on the street while searching for spiritual video at https://youtu.be/-XVEDDCh_W0

Jason Fobister lives in the First Nations Reserve of Grassy Narrows in Canada and he is like family to us. This painting is our favorite. He took 1 year to make this painting after we met and then gave it to our family as a surprise in front of 200 of our closest supporters at a dinner in October 2019. The message is so powerful. It talks about going after your dreams, of realizing your worth and your potential and the fact that the journey is not just to the end of the world you see but well beyond. In Jason's own words:

"Journey" is a painting of self discovery, learning about dreams and the realization that once you reached the sky of your world that there is more! Being free in your mind is the release from the physical and explore the universe of your mind. Everything we are made of, is the exact same substance that gives a star life, we are all connected with light, and the force behind it. There are no limits to our dreams, always challenge yourself, love life and most important is loving yourself is the key to understanding your true potential. The idea for this painting came a year ago when you met your dad, you and your family and it is inspired by your families journey in this life"

This painting is dedicated to all the mentors in our lives. It was inspired the life story of a principal and the sacrifices educators make for their students. This gentleman battled through cancer and he just loved teaching kids. I was asked to paint for his farewell from the school after teaching for 30 years and I didn’t know what I was going to paint. His life story is pretty amazing, and I decided to paint a tree as it provides shelter to others. It had to be strong, and I started mixing my golds and my bronze colors. I could see the life of a teacher is so vibrant, so I painted the leaves red. I added a book in front of that tree because that is his life and his life is about teaching and helping people to learn. I wrote a page and a half in that book, and I left half of the page empty. It is a symbolic reference that the story of life has to be written completely as a human and the story goes on.

NEW PAINTING: This painting touches your heart and is the latest one from Jason. Jason Fobister lives in the First Nations Reserve of Grassy Narrows in Canada. His art is inspired by nature, humanity and love. 

It captures those times when you stand for something you believe in again all odds, remember you are not alone. You stand on behalf of those that stood before you. You stand for a movement, for courage and for giving a voice to the sacrifices of those before your time. Look carefully at the clouds and the true meaning of the painting will reveal itself as the wise buffalo passes on the lesson of courage and character to the little one just as it has had been passed on that message by those before it. Stand Tall Little One - For Those That Came Before You. You stand for something that is bigger than you individually. I had this painting in my mind when I did my speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNagdm8BPr4 I was not alone and neither are you. Lets stand for something we believe in.

This painting is very special. It is our vision of bringing the world together come true. Our artist Jason Fobister from the First Nations Reserve of Grassy Narrows in Canada painted this for Rob Van Der Ende from Singapore after they both met at our business launch. There are emotions expressed in this painting that words simply cannot be described. It is a perfect gift for your mentor, the care taker, the selfless souls in your life that support you.

" The golden eagle landing on top of the tree represents the selfless role models with their wings spread out kinda sheltering the life under them. With a beautiful sunset with golden rays of light that are making themselves known that this is the moment!!! There is nothing to fear as they are there, as the protector of this sacred tree, all of life can continue to flourish and live. The tree is on a little tiny island surround by water like its own little oasis with just a tiny bit of mist. And I think that is the place people feel blessed and reminded that life is a real beautiful place and this is the place to be! This painting Harmony is poetry in life, when color is unleashed and is set free, the most beautiful collaboration can occur, there is no predator and there is no prey! We can then come join hands and like nature, be sculpted to perfection. We shouldn't live our lives for tomorrow, we live it for today! This painting is inspired by my friend Rob from Singapore" Jason Fobister

Daviel Galan lives in Cuba and is our second artist. His art is inspired by people who are visually impaired and by those who can see, but don't take the time out of their lives to feel for others. Through his art he wants to remind us all to remember others. We simply should not just see but feel all that is around us. This one statement moved us when our second artist shared the inspiration behind his art.  

Daviel knows how to write and read braille. We backpacked for 45 days and saw numerous artist but it was his spiritual art that moved us. 

His original paintings have detailed description in braille embedded in the painting. Each of his paintings has a deep message.

Daviel knows how to write and read braille. When we asked him what his favorite painting means, he had closed his eyes and read what it had said. It was about calmness that can only be achieved from within. That moment was so moving for us. Daviel’s painting consists of enchanting color palette which makes up the beautiful paintings. The different shades of green in the painting is truly amazing, so does the story behind it.

Can you see the eye below? It is closed and in the center. Encouraging us all to feel and not just see. Now on the left bottom is the description of the pictures in braille that can only come with the original so those with visual impairment can also experience this art. It describes what the painting means. We all have the ability to feel this calmness.
