HARI LUALHATI: November 2021

I’m proud to introduce to you my latest Soulwork titled “Turn Your Wounds Into Wisdom”. Watch the video on my YouTube Channel below:

Title: TURN YOUR WOUNDS INTO WISDOM

Artist: HARI LUALHATI

Medium: Oil

Size: 37.5 cm x 30cm or 14.76 inches x 11.8 inches

Description:“In life, it’s normal to encounter challenges. Whenever you experience negativity from other people: when they try to pull you down, belittle you, hurt you; always keep your heart clean and pure for it will guide you towards the right path. Take the pain as a learning path towards widening your understanding and gain wisdom from it. Wisdom is the understanding and the living of enduring values. Know that some of life’s best lessons are learned through our worst times. They give us deeper understanding on things and teach us to be a better version of ourselves. A person who turns wound into wisdom by keeping her heart pure and being guided by her moral values despite facing pain will successfully soar.

Symbolisms have been used in the painting to clearly deliver the message. The subject staring straight to the audience suggests the bravery of courageously holding on to your moral values despite the pain. The white butterfly covering the wounds symbolises the reigning purity of the heart. The owl represents wisdom gained from the experience.” - Hari Lualhati

“Turn Your Wounds Into Wisdom” is currently being exhibited in Chicago, USA at 33 Contemporary Gallery Zhou B Art Center, 4th Floor, 1029 W. 35th Street, Chicago, IL 60609 with a successful Opening Ceremony held last November 19, 2021. Thank you to everyone who came and most especially to the private collector who purchased my Soulwork, “Turn Your Wounds Into Wisdom”, for the support. The exhibition will run until December 31, 2021. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the distinguished jurors: Samuel Peralta, Steven Assael, Jim and Jennifer Seale, Gina Ward, and the curators: Sergio Gomez and Didi Menendez.

I’m grateful that they’ve used my Soulwork for the poster of the exhibition.

Thank you so much to Sergio and @ajuanina for the photos.

“Turn Your Wounds Into Wisdom” has been the first art piece SOLD from “QUEST FOR THE MODERN FIGURE”, even before the official opening of the exhibition started. Thank you so much to the private collector.
