Satya creates that which mirrors. On both sides of the mirror.

Horses. Birds. The DarkLight. Moon, ocean, our human shape breaking loose into something more ancient – archetypal experience. Not subjects. Presence. From the ten-thousand things that remember for us when perhaps we have become too busy, too civilized, or too impressed with our own explanations to see for ourselves.

Paint bleeds into canvas, into ink, crayon, oil pastel, charcoal, pencil - and then often back into themselves again. Whatever the image needs to keep breathing. His process is less a tidy march toward completion than a migration: color crossing into mark, body into spirit, photograph into dream, accident into revelation. The artwork usually knows where it is going before he does, which is both inconvenient and - so far, so good.

Wild mustangs stand at the living crux of his work: ancestral, wounded, watchful, still standing, still wild. For years the horse has appeared in his art as archetype, soul-force, survivor, companion and unruly messenger from the deeper country within us. His work with the mustangs at Return to Freedom Wild Horse Sanctuary and Conservation has brought that vision into direct contact with living herds - actual bloodlines, actual scars, actual memory and survival breathing right here.

This is Archetypal Art. His work rises from a lifelong relationship with meditation, depth psychology, music, healing practice and the patient study of what Nature does when no one is standing around explaining it. He is interested in the threshold where the visible world begins to reveal its interior life: where stone carries silence. Where Crow arrives with news, where darkness is not an error. It's the heart that tells the truth. The head can listen.

Satya’s art does not attempt to solve the mystery. He would rather sit in it, listening in, and have a good laugh that surprises both of them. As if they were two. As if....

"The ancient world is not finished. It is moving under our surface, right under our feet. Tapping on your psyche's breast. Still. Watching and waiting. Like Henry Miller says: 'Man's task is to make of himself a work of art.' Like Suzuki Roshi says: "What we are doing here is so important we better not take ourselves too seriously.' And like Mirabai says: '....' - oh wait. Look! She's just out under the moon dancing...." - Satya Keyes
