Dolphin Art and the Mystical Guardians of the Sea

11:42 DHS 0 Comments

Dolphins are amazing creatures. Some of those who have swam with dolphins say they are very spiritual beings, and that their joyful spirit is contagious. Some of the best Dolphin Art captures this spirit.

I particularly enjoy the artwork of Wyland and Christian Lassen. The work of both these artists is a source of inspiration in my own art. They each seem to have a special kinship with dolphins... and express that relationship beautifully on the canvas.

Meditating on the symbolism that dolphins represent, I sometimes wonder about the lost civilizations of Lemuria and Atlantis. Mythical sea creatures are often associated with stories of these sunken worlds.

One belief is that dolphins played a role in the sacred rituals of these civilizations. Others say that dolphins guard the secrets of these long-lost civilizations that could be buried deep under the ocean floor... just as there may be memories of Lemuria and Atlantis buried deep in our collective psyche as well.

Given how highly intelligent dolphins are, it certainly seems possible. Perhaps they are a more advanced species than we know.

Some of the Dolphin Art I've seen eludes to some of these ideas. Dolphins circling buried treasure and long-since forgotten ruins. Maybe they actually are mystical guardians, watching over our collective past until the day when memories and evidence can surface anew.

I have felt a connection with dolphins for as long as I can remember. There's something that feels ancient and soulful about these playful mammals.

Truth is, when I first started painting, I never expected to create a Dolphin Art series. Now, it's thrilling wherever one or more show up in one of my paintings... often showing up in multicolored fashion.

They've appeared in my dreams a number of times over the years, but as 2012, I have not been "up close and personal" with them.

Swimming with the dolphins remains on my bucket list. (smile)

Beyond that, other contemporary ideas suggest that dolphin energies can clear chakras and heal psychological wounds. Many people who have swam with the dolphins talk about feeling spiritually revitalized afterwards. They talk about feelings of deep peace and a heightened sense of well-being.

With everything that's been scientifically documented, and with all the personal and anecdotal data that's available, I think it's fair to say that dolphins are very special creatures. And any Dolphin Art that can tap into the mystical nature of these wondrous beings gets my two thumbs up.
