LILIANA KLEINER  A Jungian psychotherapist
From the Jungian Society review :

"Liliana Kleiner's visionary art bridges between cultures and continents by way of the collective archetypal spirit of the world. It weaves together the soul of the native american people (their relationship to the land and the animals), with the sensuality of latin american magical surrealism, and the mystical tradition of eastern European judaism.

It is a vision guided by a strong feminine archetype that sees and feels the Land as powerful and sacred, and the human body as part of it. This is not the traditional "Mother " archetype , nor the "Amazon " ,but a re-emerging collective archetypal force that echo the dream of our "lost paradise", before the split into opposites and hierarchies, and our alienation from cosmic wholeness.

Her work is contemporary Alchemy. "

The reason people and angels hover around human sexuality is because it is a Light source that has been kept in the dark, Alice Walker In the Eastern traditions, particularly in India, the coexistence and even fusion of the sensual and the spiritual modes of experience are embedded in cultural and religious roots. Indian art and literature, on temple walls or in books, show how Hinduism traditionally utilized sexual rituals as a metaphor and as a method of attaining unity with the Divine. In the West, the Judeo-Christian God has forever associated sexuality with sin, guilt and suffering; as literature tells us, our great Lovers usually lie in hell. Western culture has taught us to feel alienated from our own bodies and from our roots in the Earth. When the trumpet sounded, it was all prepared on earth, the Jehovah parcelled out the earth to Coca Cola Inc., Anaconda, Ford Motors, and other entities Pueblo Neruda By showing examples of her art work, Kleiner will explore the importance of bringing the sensuality of the Feminine archetype from the depths of the unconscious into the Light of consciousness.
