Cherry blossoms bloom in the beginning of spring. They are symbols of renewal, of new beginnings, transformation. They also represent the cycle of life, since the moment they bloom they are headed to flower and then transform into other forms and energies. 
For Dodo they symbolize the gratitude and blessing of the moment. Appreciating the now, what we have, who we are and all that we are able to become. The cherry blossoms will soon fall, will soon disappear and transform into next stages. Celebrate and take in this moment with all its blessings! 
Dodo uses pigments that change with the light, purplish, greenish shades that transform and become darker as the sunlight fades. This is how she represents the ever-changing cycle and the cherry tree.

This is a piece that embodies joy and reflects the feeling of when we feel happy. It is a powerful reflection of our inner world when we feel joyful. Joy and happiness joins here as the whole work seems to be dancing and singing. It is an energetic and vivid piece, reminding us to take Life easily, with passion and also with much joy. 
Dodo Newman loves to transfer messages through her works, messages that wakes us up from the every day routines and grayness that many live in our modern societies. Joy is one of those emotions that brings colour to our lives and brings spark to our creativity.

Dance of joy

Breathing in

Second in the series of Life Energy. Dodo depicts her inner universe, the one filled with energies, that comes and goes and vibrates within. Her universe calls out to you as well, to recognize your own energies and life within. 
We create from our inner world, the way we feel is how we create in our physical world. 
Dodo’s message is about transformation, for you to listen within and be guided by her art.

Life energy II.

In this work, Dodo reflects brings her movements again. The painting is almost alive, full of vibrancy and energetic. Movement and lyrics, almost like a poem. The tree of Life represents the source, the love from which all that Life comes from. It shows a sort of chaotic movement, yet from afar everything is in harmony. Things are falling into the right place and every part of the painting has something to say. 
The love for Life and its diversity comes through this artwork as well as it bursts in front of us. Wherever this painting might go, whoever will be gazing and contemplating at it, they will always find beauty, movement and love in it!

Tree of Life

An instant inspiration of a moment where seemingly different shades form together a united composition. In our lives also differing ideas and thoughts come together to create new visions. As Humans, we have different ways of being, however when these come together new ways of living happen, new life is created. “It all comes together” is the message from Dodo Newman, with the utmost faith in Life. She sees life’s challenges and moves as a necessity to bring forth new thoughts and new realities that we create.

It all comes together

“Opening” . Dodo worked on this piece for more many weeks with layers upon layers. 
For her this piece symbolizes the ‘work’ and energies we have to put into bringing forth something we wish to realize, our dreams. Sometimes we have no idea what is going to happen we still keep going on, opening our hearts each and every single time! 
It is dedicated to All those who are following their inner voice! 
Opening our dark and light sides takes courage, just as the artist is vulnerable in showing all her visions we too can be artists of our lives, with all the shades, the dark and the light.

Opening

The birth of new materials, like gold find their way through other heavy materials. It is the symbolical representation of how everything realised and created in our physical world comes from the non-material world. Dodo Newman’s artworks come from the unseen. She dives deep into her own universe to bring forth forms, materials and colours that materialize into compositions. She feels comfortable where contrasts meet to converge and create beautiful images. This is why materials and elements from Earth inspire her when she creates.

River of gold finding its way

This painting remind us of the two-fold energy. One that reminds us to be grounded and the other to know that we are spirits in human forms. The painting shows lots of movement with a central focus point. From here our eyes are pulled upward, where the level of the unseen is and then downward where the level of roots and ground is. 
We are both grounded and in the unseen world. Dodo reminds us of these two levels of state through her vibrant and shining work. 
The technique is swift, spontaneous and yet completely focused on the detail as well. This also reminds us of how there are different perspectives of our lives, seeing it from the detailed level and the bigger perspective. 
Again a deep message from Dodo through her work that pours out sunny energies and lots of faith.

Grounded and in spirit

The spontaneous movement and a huge burst of energy are what first strike the eye. Looking at the different parts of the painting, there is something going on in every little millimetre of it. 
Dodo’s fascination and admiration for the space comes immediately in mind. The space, such a contradictory place, where seemingly nothing happens and yet huge energies come together bringing forth always new creations. 
The materials used are magical, with pigments, gold and fluorescence colours, almost mystical and not earthly. 
There is a balance of spaciousness and activity, which is part of our life as well. 
This piece complements any type of physical space, a home, office, business, office, etc. It will bring a vivid and continuous discovery to all eyes as the glaze will follow the waterfall.

Cosmic waterfall

Dodo uses gold as a contrast to reflect upon the ethereal and infinite value of life. It is not just about the visual effect but more about like saying: everything has value and meaning in our lives. 
The colours used also reflect upon how we can create light from everything. The contrast of light and dark is a recurring theme in all of Dodo’s works. Here especially it makes us reflect upon how everything comes about from this everlasting contrast. 
There is also the usual movement and energy blast, typical of Dodo’s expression. Her message is: Everything is always in a continuous change and movement, appreciate the present fleeting moment!

This canvas is full of movement and energy. One can gaze at it and see the wind blowing and making changes. Fluidity, energy, movement, contrast, play of light and dark are all elements that are part of Dodo’s art expression. 
With this piece her message is to see phenomena as passing by, like everything in our physical world comes and goes. And appreciating small and evident elements can bring so much beauty and harmony into our lives! Just like gazing and getting lost in this piece.

Play of wind

In a moment that we consider fleeting, millions of things happen at once. One moment translated in our time is in fact an eternity, since time is made up of the cyclical movement and energy of moment to moment change. This painting captures a moment, however seeing it more in depth, one sees hundreds of movements and intricate crossings: an eternity. Dodo Newman’s art pieces often reflect on the impermanence of things. She aims to capture the very essence of these fleeting moments.

Moment feeling like eternity

This painting is a dance, the dance of life that moves in and out and about. The dance is sometime light and joyful, represented by the lightness and transparency of the paint and at other parts it is heavy and slow, with dark and thick colors. 
Our lives has all the elements within, the light and the dark parts, the ebb and flow of ups and downs. 
As always, Dodo talks about life in her paintings, she tells us stories and brings her wisdom to life. She aims for others to see their own life stories through her art. 
This painting is not only delightful and beautiful but deep and meaningful as well on many levels.

Dancing life energy

This painting is like the feelings of the heart. On one part we see the cold, freezing, passive energies and on the other we can see the warmth coming in. It is like two contrasting energies blending, a detailed close-up of our hearts. The contraction and the opening up, the melting of warmth within. 
This is how Dodo imagines it and captures it in her visual world. Seeing and feeling it, knowing that all is vibrating and in a continuous movement. 
The spaces in between is the Space, the Source, the Everything that moves it all. 
Dodo reminds us of what we have within, our universe is a small universe, creating small and big things. At the end everything makes sense and everything is connected.

Feelings of the heart

Dodo uses the space of the canvas also as part of the composition. The space, the breath, the pause is part of life and creation. Everything is created from the contrast of dark and light. Change comes from where we dare not see, that scares us and that makes us want to run away. By going into the depth, we find beauty and good. The good is not outside of us to chase after but it is all inside of us. 
This deep spiritual message is part of Dodo’s work and representation of it.

Transformations come from the dark

This is an artwork from Dodo that inspires and takes us into a magical place. It is filled up with magical colours and calls the viewer to follow into a dream world. The colours are pearl-like, changing with the sun and the weather, the time of the day. It will be dark when the moon shines and filled with shimmering light as the sun comes up. 
Feeling in a story is what Dodo calls us to do and taking this artwork will make you feel in a dream world whenever you will look at it.

Enchanted

Ice and fire are two very different elements, and yet Dodo puts them together as they are moving together. They are very different in nature and process and yet they co-exist. This is what moved Dodo to create around these contrasting elements. 
The contrast and diversity in our world is possible and works miracles! We need diversity. No matter what our elements are it is our differences that create transformation and wonders. 
Dodo’s message is that beauty comes from very divergent places, and is possible through the variety of Life.

Ice on fire

This piece reflects upon the unfolding of layers as we become truer to our real Being. It is a continuous unfolding of layers as the depth of things are revealed. The energy and vividness that boosts from the painting shows the fluidity of life, as nothing stays the same and everything is in a continuing transformation. 
Dodo paints with layers which is reflected perfectly in this piece. New layers are revealed as the viewer gets lost in viewing the painting. 
Dodo invites the viewer to stay longer and view the painting in its depth, that is when the layers are truly revealed.

Layers unfolding
