TRANSCENDENTAL ART SEMINAR
with RAM DASA ABHIRAM DASA AND DHRTI DEVI DASI
For spreading Krsna conscious art and for the pleasure of those who are fond of art, we propose a seminar of painting. The intensive seminar will be conducted by two excellent and famous artists, direct disciples of Srila Prabhupada: Ram Dasa Abhirama and his wife Dhrti Devi Dasi.
They will accompany the students in a complete experience of art by teaching them the traditional classic techniques to produce a painting and they will also bring their students in an intense meditation on the form of Lord Krishna.
Ram Dasa Abhiram (Kevin Yee) has a BA from the University of Fullerton in California.
Dhrti devi dasi (Miriam Briks) graduated from the School of Art&Design in New York.
Both have also studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Siena (Accademia delle Belle Arti) and other prestigious art Institutes in America.
They received instructions on painting directly from Srila Prabhupada and they painted with the original core group of BBT artists: Jadurani dasi, Pariksit dasa and Murlidhar dasa.
They also painted in the BBT art department from 1975-1986 and they were the BBT's co-art directors in Europe between 1980 and 1986, when they were based in Italy.
Their paintings have been exihibited in various prestigious art galleries in America and they are included in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad-gita, Nectar of Devotion, Caitanya-caritamrta and Krishna book.
