Intuition is against tuition which comes from outside, while intuition blossoms your innermost core. Intuition & enlightenment are not two things. It lies in our innermost center. It is not that we become enlightened, we already are, but our thinking prevents us from recognizing it. The quantum leap is needed, from thinking to no thinking, from mind to no mind, from out to in, from there to here, from then to now. Suryakant's work is the process of knowing, that is to say, movement and change, not objects but their metamorphosis, their process, their stream of consciousness... that is why his pictures flow, everything seems to be flowing, everything is in relation to something else and in transition. He is continuously preoccupied with the vision of a union between human beings and the world, the idea of an anthropomorphous structured cosmos, and the identity of the outer and inner world.
