Adrian Snary Podcast #85 – Christian de Vietri – The Sacredness In Art
In this episode Christian de Vietri and I have an in-depth discussion on life and art. It was a broad ranging chat covering many topics around the creative process, spirituality, health and wellbeing, surrendering and vulnerability, moving past obstacles and discernment through listening and learning. It was an honour to sit down with Christian and talk about all things associated with the human spirit.
In Australia, Christian is well known for his installation ‘Spanda’ at Elizabeth Quay.
Christian is an artist/yogin based in New York. Having created art since he was a child, he now works as a conduit for the Tantrik traditions, Kashmir Shaivism in particular, giving sculptural form to spiritual teachings with contemporary technology.
His art education took place at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris where he completed his Bachelor of Fine Art, Columbia University in New York City where he completed a Master of Fine Art, and in Nepal where he studied traditional Newar sacred art. He has extensive training in the practice and philosophy of Yoga, has received initiation into the Shakta Kaula and the Trika Shaiva lineages, and has been certified as a teacher of Trika Mahasiddha Yoga.
His sculptures have been exhibited and collected internationally for the past 15 years. Several awards have been bestowed upon Christian, including the Citizen of the Year Award for his contribution to visual art in Australia.
A big thank you to The Reveley for allowing us to film at their location.
