Ruy Carpenter

Ruy Carpenter has been studying photography and digital art in depth since 2000. He lived in Fiji for a number of years and developed his photographic eye while working as a technical assistant to the artist and Spiritual Master, Adi Da Samraj from 2000 to 2008. He is mightily influenced by the art and creative impulse he experienced in Adi Da’s company during that time, and his work is an homage to his relationship to Adi Da, both as artistic mentor and as Guru. In his own words: "Working as a technical assistant in Adi Da's art studio was a pressure cooker of creativity, a master class in the principles of fundamental human aesthetics and a profound invitation and alignment to relating to the world around me as an entirely artistic experience. The artistic intent that Adi Da lived every day that I spent in His Company had a profound initiatory force that I have been learning how to conduct and respond to ever since.
