It all starts with the lines. This is a symbol hybrid painting, and the lines are how the energy runs through the painting.
The energy lines which define the entire painting.
Next, the construction of the two "shining" pieces, the mirrorball and the human shape.
Dancing being under construction
The soul mirror ball.
This wanted to have a poem put on the back of it, where it cannot be seen, but it will be there nonetheless.

Dance with your soul poem by Silvia Hartmann
Dance with your Soul
let your Soul control
your path, your way.
Bright lights
are placed
along your path
they guide you
safely through
the darkest nights.
Look up.
Stars are smiling.
You are free
to dance.

Dancing With Your Soul
Acrylics, holographics on canvas, 24" x 35" Silvia Hartmann July 2022
First sunlight in the garden, Eastbourne July 2022
I have a new project starting on August 1st, 2022, and finishing on August 22, 2022, the day before my 63rd birthday.
Project SuperStar (which is all about connecting with the Soul).
I believe this painting was necessary to have been done before we could begin.
I'm very excited about these unfoldments. Looking for a miracle expansion - the Heart of Magic is the immortal Soul, das Zauberherz.
TBC!
Dance With Your Soul Vector Version Silvia Hartmann 2022
July 2023 Update
Dance was featured on The Power of the Positives ebook on the 1st page. When it came to the print edition, I was looking for a different image and this caused a Star Event of connection across time and space.
Here's the story (repost from GoE Members Forum)
I am experimenting with pictures for the chapter heading pages of Power of the Positives. As this book is so linked to my painting, "Dancing with your soul" and this picture features as the first page in the ebook version, it occurred to me to use the picture of me holding it in the garden instead.
But I wanted it to have a different vibe from the obligatory provenance pictures, so I cut out the garden, and decided to replace it with a wet street at night, the desolation of the Hard, and connecting with your soul is the way out of that loveless, soulless, hopeless state of being.
As I combined the picture of me holding the painting and the background, FLASH!
My dear Energy Mind clearly shows me the album cover from 1972, David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust.
That's the vibe, and the Star Event my young 13 year old aspect had when she first held that album cover in her hand, in a music shop in Germany. Wow.
She looked at that cover and felt there was someone else who was an ALIEN.
Not an Englishman in New York, but an alien in the Hard.
This connection blew me away. The clarity of it, the clarity of the memory with the album cover, the whole soul/love thing missing from the Hard, and all sorts of other connections.
Marketing people always ask me, "What is your target audience? What do your customers have in common?" and I could never answer that because people who are into my work literally come from all corners of the Earth, with the most diverse ages, jobs, backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations - perhaps the one thing we all have in common is that we are aliens in the Hard.
There may not be that many of us, but you can't change the Hard from inside that matrix. Only from the outside.
It's fascinating. I also see that conflict melting away between being a human being, and an alien in the Hard. The Hard is made for soulless robots, by soulless robots. It is perfectly normal for a real human being therefore to feel like an alien as soon as they move away from the sanctity of nature, and have to deal with the Hard.
In fact, if you don't feel that there is something fundamentally wrong with the things as they are in the Hard, there's something fundamentally wrong with you.
I welcome all aliens. You are my tribe.
