There are just a few days left to bid on this Boabom painting… so if you’re interested, now’s the time!!! Please bid via email (to info@bostonboabom.com) by the end of the day on Thursday, April 15th! The highest bidder will win the painting, and in case of a tie, preference will go to the earliest bid.

Here again are the full details of the painting. You can see it hanging in the school.

Title: Samehsameh
Motif: This beautiful picture is the first of its kind. It is a representation of the Art of Boabom, one in a line of paintings made to illustrate the book “The Legend of Mmulmmat”. The piece itself illustrates a classic movement from the Art of Seamm Jasani, as shown by a female student at a gathering, by the light of a bonfire (Chapter 23, “Samehsameh,” Legend of the Mmulmmat).
Frame: The painting’s frame is hand-carved of red oak.
Dimensions: Painting: 26 cm x 16.5 cm (10.5 in x 6.5 in). Frame: 44 cm x 33 cm (17 in x 13 in).
Materials: Oil on acid-free cotton paper.
About the artist: The artist is a student and assistant professor of Boabom, from the Southern Schools, who has had a long career in painting. She believes that the message, or image, is what is important, and not its author, so she reserves her name.
Price: $ 130 starting/reserve price (including frame).
Proceeds: 100% of the proceeds of this auction will go towards the projects of Boabom South, including reforestation and alternative construction that they have undertaken in Chile.

Sojamm to the Renovators!!!

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 17:24:04 +0000

This weekend we successfully renewed, repainted, and re-energized the Boston School of Boabom! Fresh paint and positive energies always do a school good, and we had plenty! We were even able to use a zero-VOC paint (we used one called FreshAire, bur there are many others available), so the school and its air will be clean and healthy for all of us!

So thanks to everyone who came and helped out–you made the weekend fly by, and with so much help we were able to finish earlier than we expected!!!

Sojammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!

Artistic Expressions: Speed Painting in Photoshop

admin — Fri, 08 May 2009 16:18:31 +0000

Artistic expressions have changed over time. Some of them have kept their essence, like Boabom, because it is a practice that seeks to activate mind and body, which seem to keep their form through generations. Nevertheless, in recent years there have risen amazing technologies that have begun ti allow new means of expression. Thinking of image processing computer programs, I wonder: “as there have been very skillful individuals in the use of brush and paint, there should be expert users of Photoshop.” Searching about this topic on the web, I came across Martin Missfeldt, who possesses an incredible talent in this program. I give a link where you may appreciate his wonderful skills: a video which shows how he makes a copy of Mona Lisa of Leonardo Da Vinci. I hope you like it… may it motivate all of you to develop your talents!!
