Simone Cappa

Oslo based artist and teacher, Aase-Hilde Brekke breaths a deep spir­i­tu­al­ity into the art world. Work­ing toward being an “impulse to change, cre­ative energy, inspi­ra­tion, and the flow good ideas” she brings her knowl­edge of Tibetan yoga into her pho­tos and per­for­mance pieces. The Photo “Evig”, mean­ing Eter­nal, from her “Mother India” photo series cap­tures the spir­i­tu­al­ity of the coun­try as peo­ple line up to offer prayer. Per­fectly cap­tur­ing the masses enroute on a spir­i­tual shows Brekke’s abil­ity to inter­lace her spir­i­tu­al­ity with her art– the toil of human­ity as they reach towards the heav­ens– cap­tured in one sin­gle moment in time.“Om mani pedme hung” is the sum­ma­tion of Aase-Hilde Brekke and her project Tara Media, her mes­sage, and her art. In every piece, in ever per­for­mance and class she teaches “Om mani pedme hung” can be felt behind the scenes– push­ing the base instincts and minds towards a change, a change that brings us from what we are to what we all have poten­tial to be.

Her art, whether images of Sidhartta’s home­land, mov­ing exper­i­ments of light, moments of con­tem­pla­tion and rit­ual, or per­fectly com­posed black and white pho­tographs, always uplifts the spirit, urg­ing the “mani” (the jewel of the mind) to reach for some­thing more, some­thing beautiful.
