A Soulful Art Critique: “Potok” as a Living Manifestation of HeartGLO and the Flow of Consciousness

In “Potok,” Anna Katarzyna Biela reveals more than a painting — she initiates an energetic experience, a living flow of consciousness made visible through color, breath, and co-creation. As the first visual and spiritual manifestation of the “HeartGLO” series, “Potok” is not merely an artwork — it is a beginning. A pulse. A stream of life-force energy flowing directly from the heart and returning to the collective field.
The painting was created entirely with spray paint during a three-day public art performance. During this time, passersby were invited to co-create — to interact with the work, join the act of painting, and respond to the colors, the atmosphere, and the intuition of the moment. Their presence became part of the work — each gesture, each hand movement, each mist of color added not only pigment, but intention and vibration. What emerged is a true collective artwork, resonating with the authenticity of shared experience. “Potok” breathes with the souls of those who touched it, observed it, or simply stood nearby.
For Biela, the use of spray paint is no coincidence. It is a conscious act rooted in a bioenergetic approach to creation. Spray becomes an extension of the inner flow of the body — it moves quickly, freely, without control or hesitation. It allows energy, emotion, and spirit to flow directly from the inside out, bypassing the mind. It is breath. Liberation. Presence in motion.
Turquoise shades — interwoven with blues, silver, and gray — are characteristic of Biela’s visual language. But in “Potok,” they take on a new quality: lighter, more transparent, as if illuminated from within. This is not just a color palette, but an entire sensation — a “turquoise feeling,” a frequency, a state of being. A heart-centered presence that gently permeates the space, inviting stillness, openness, and the sensing of subtle inner movements.
“Potok” does not end at the canvas edges. It expands — energetically and spatially — transforming the surrounding area into a field of resonance. It invites everyone who enters to feel its rhythm, to synchronize with their own breath, with the movement of their inner stream. It is not a painting to simply look at. It is a portal. A mirror. A current.
The space around “Potok” becomes a sanctuary of presence — a living installation activated by people. Everyone who steps inside becomes part of the work, part of the flow. The boundary between artist, viewer, and artwork dissolves. “HeartGLO” is not something to observe. It is something to be “shared.”
Here, art returns to its essence: it is a ritual of connection. A flow of life. “Potok” reminds us that creation is not a solitary act — it is a communal one. And when we open ourselves to the flow, we remember who we truly are: living expressions of Earth and Cosmos, connected through the breath of the heart.
