This is the ‘Autumn’ part of the bigger series that Dodo has envisioned.
She painted many years ago a triptych called Missing Seasons. It was almost like all seasons were present on each canvas, except one… she found it interesting and exciting because it meant something was still missing that she would eventually get back to.
Each canvas of this series has a height of 100 cm and width of 80 cm. There are 4 pieces that represent autumn, the season of letting go. IT calls for contemplation, realizations and letting go of all that do not serve our growth. Just like in nature, there is a flow and change of colors, textures, views. It gives space to re-alignment and reflections.
With its magical colors, autumn invites a blend of warmth and cold to then flow into winter for its sleep again.

Autumn

This is the ‘Summer’ part of the bigger series that Dodo has envisioned.
She painted many years ago a triptych called Missing Seasons. It was almost like all seasons were present on each canvas, except one… she found it interesting and exciting because it meant something was still missing that she would eventually get back to.
Each canvas of this series has a height of 100 cm and width of 80 cm. There are 4 pieces that represent summer, a season of vibrancy, light, bouncing energies. 
Summer invites us to feel free, enjoy the warmth, light, and to appreciate the brightness of days. 
Summer can become heated too, where too much of heat can burn and destroy as well. This way, it also calls for balance and being aware of our desires.

Summer

This is the ‘Spring’ part of the Seasons series.
It is the season of awakening from deep sleep as nature finds its way out from darkness. It is when new beginnings start, renewal in nature, in the plant and animal world, when we have more energies for our days, when visions become plans, which then become actions and actions bring change and transformation.
In our rushing culture it is difficult to see and realize that we are part of the changes of what surrounds us in a much bigger and deeper scale than the ones we notice every day. We have our internal tides that are in harmony with the ones of our Universe as we are influenced by all its forces. We experience cycles just like all the stars, the Moon, the Sun, the Earth and other Planets. All is connected and meaningful from the level of Life. This is what the connected canvases convey us with a flow that is continuous.

Spring

This is the ‘Winter’ part of the bigger series that Dodo has envisioned.
She painted many years ago a triptych called Missing Seasons. It was almost like all seasons were present on each canvas, except one… she found it interesting and exciting because it meant something was still missing that she would eventually get back to.
Each canvas of this series has a height of 100 cm and width of 80 cm. There are 4 pieces that represent winter, a season when nature goes to sleep. It is a passive period of time, as it calls for rest, pause and contemplation. 
We have winter periods during our lives, when life calls us to take a pause, to observe and rest.
There is a constant flow all through the artwork, as the only constant thing in life is change. Dodo brings this out with the flow that goes through even in winter. 
Winter is a magical season full of potential and possibilities.

Winter

Sun is elemental for Dodo, not only technically but symbolically as well. She creates her artworks in daylight, and she loves the natural sunlight.
Sun is also the source of energy, warmth, love, colours, Life. It brings Life to everything and is elemental for all Beings. Sun is associated with the joy of creating and the blessings of Life. Dodo‘s message is to be in sunshine mode and to shine within, like this painting. It brings sun and life energy to any space, home, collection.

In sunshine mode

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

Created with love, a powerful artwork playing with the energies and light. It showcases how our emotions are part of the universe. It is also a symbol of how the ripples of love spreads and has an effect over everything and everyone. An example of an explosion of feminine energies, powerful, graceful, caring, sensual and healing for the universe. Dodo Newman uses natural pigments on this canvas, with spontaneous movement and flow as the “explosion” spreads. It is a truly energetic and playful piece of work.

My love explodes in the universe

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

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 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

Dodo’s works remind people of the magical space and other elements of our planet. These pieces came as she was looking at recent photos taken of the space with stars, meteorites, planets and comparing them with close-up photos of plants and earthly elements.
The paintings are like close-ups, mini universes, that we capture either of the space or of such minuscule elements as the leaves, minerals, a stone. They are mini universes in themselves, sort of windows to another world that is however connected to ours.
This is why she chose the round format for her paintings. 
The material is flowing and soluble with water, as it is acrylic, pigments and ink. The colors are somewhat ethereal, as they change with the light, bringing movement into them, as the light and shadows change during the day.

Dodo created this piece as a moment of joy, safety and harmony. When she asked her 8 years old daughter what she felt when looking at it, she replied: it reminds me of the sea underwater with corals and it gives me the feelings of joy, safety and being grateful. 
It came as a surprise that Dodo’s daughter felt the same as she did when she painted it. She realized how her inner vision was channeled over to her daughter, and how everything is a vibe, an energy first. This is how she communicates through her art the layers of feelings, emotions, vibes that are translated into visions emerging like known or unknown universes. 
The inner world meets the external…

Swimming in calm and joy

Phenomena is the title, looking at it closely there are many things going on in it. The phenomena might end, or go on. Still, for Dodo Newman it is the moment captured that counts. It is almost like a poem that flows by and we do not know whether it will continue or not, whether it is just a about to fade or it is the beginning of something more. 
Creating for the moment, from passion and the Soul is the motto of Dodo.

Phenomena

Dodo Newman’s layer on layer comes out out perfectly in this artwork. It reflects her love for the Earth, its energy and movements. Working on it with layers and as a process can be paralleled as the Earth as a Planet develops and grows. 
The colours are natural and there is an underlying dynamic to it, brining it almost alive. The artwork gives hope and light in any and all space.

Earth energies

Having the energies as her basic drive and interest in creating, Dodo Newman’s message is the way life and creation comes about. In all her visions and expressions this elemental theme, of life energy shines through. Whether it is dark or light, the play complement each other and are important elements to all life forms.
Her works bring aesthetic and a message that we are all connected by living through spirit on our Planet, and to appreciate it in all its aspects.

Coming to life

The painting is called Formations, because it brings back the feeling of earthly creations. Painted on an earlier piece, Dodo Newman used several layers to bring back the effect of something new being formed. 
The textures are layered from light to heavier colours.
Dodo is especially inspired by the notion of energies, and how something unseen can bring about a new vision and vibes. She inspires further to look around our earth and to recognize its magical effects, visions and views.

Formations

A piece created from Dodo Newman’s heart, as she went layer by layer every day in a different way and mood.
She calls it “Reflections”, because of the light and also because of the reflections she had while she created it. The sunlight and her reflections are important elements in her creation process, which always return in her pieces. Dodo’s wish is to bring light to the One who will own it!

Reflections

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

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!

Creating light

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.

Cherry blossoms

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.
