Something in you already knows.
My body always knows the difference
between the lightning bolt of something being true…
and the wincing because something feels off.
When it’s true…
I feel something land.
I feel something drop into place.
I’ve experienced this quality of drop-in through art that reaches the core of my being…
music that touches my soul…
dance that lights me up…
conversations rich with depth and substance…
love relationships that make life worth living…
and sex that feels like Heaven on Earth.
“You have made my home an extension of my soul.”
John Denver
For more than four decades, Maui-based contemporary artist Spar Street has exhibited his paintings and monumental sculptures around the world.
His work welcomes you into an intimate exploration of love, passion, beauty, intimacy, devotion, and the ecstatic possibilities of being fully alive.
And one timeless question:
What actually makes your life feel like it’s worth living?
WHAT MAKES YOU LOVE BEING ALIVE?
The warm glow of sunlight caressing your face at sunset. The birth of your child. Every loving kiss you have ever given or received.
The moments of erotic communion when love, desire, devotion, and pleasure open up your body like lightning through the sky. When that fills you to overflowing with the astonishing experience of being completely wanted and completely met… no distance between you and the person you love.
The dear friends who stayed with you while you cried or screamed on those days when life felt far too painful to bear. The moments when you knew you were fully loved and fully loving. Beauty so breathtaking that all you could do was stare in astonishment. Every place you were accepted with your guard down. Every time you felt close to something sacred.
The moments that make you gasp:
Yes!!! This!!!
This is why I am alive!
“Every single day for the last 25 years, the nine paintings Spar created for me bring me back to the very heart of what I love most.”
John Assaraf
WHAT SURROUNDS US PARTICIPATES IN OUR LIVES
The paintings and sculptures you choose to live with do far more than occupy space.
They hold a feeling around your conversations, celebrations, losses, promises, mistakes, and repairs.
Over time, they become faithful companions to your life unfolding around them.
“We commissioned Spar to create a painting that holds the juice and the fire of our wedding vows. Every time we enter our home, we enter that feeling within ourselves and for each other.”
Phillis Sandler
Spar’s artworks do not tell you what should matter to you.
They invite you to remember and honor what already does.
What makes your own life rich, fulfilling, and meaningful, one moment, one breath, one word, one action at a time.
They keep what matters close enough to help shape how you feel inside the 1,440 minutes you are given each day.
Those minutes become your life.
Are you living a life you love?
Are you loving the life you are living?
“Your work takes us into stillness… which is power… which is love.”
— Eckhart Tolle
WHY NOT MAKE WHAT MATTERS UNMISTAKABLE?
There is a world of difference between saying:
“This matters to me.”
or
“I love you.”
And arranging your life so that your declarations become unmistakably visible.
So what you love feels wanted, nurtured, prioritized, and given enough of you to gather power and momentum.
And so do you.
Each time you act in devotion to what matters most, you express what is honorable and noble in you.
You grow to trust yourself.
Your decisions become clearer.
Your focus sharpens.
You stop scattering yourself in directions that have nothing to do with the life you actually want to live.
Your time, attention, love, body, and creativity become too precious to spend carelessly.
Your perseverance becomes progress.
Your conviction becomes momentum.
Your declarations become the life you are living.
"LOVE flows like the ocean from this canvas … into my heart, my marriage, my family.” - Jim Piccolo
Congruence is not about perfection.
It is relief. It is power. It is freedom.
The freedom of no longer living divided against yourself.
"Being around Spar’s art I know I am fully loved.” - Claes Nobel
MAKE IT REAL
Make what you value unmistakably obvious today.
You don’t need a painting, a sculpture, or anyone else’s permission to begin.
Make one thing, or acquire one thing, that exudes what you deeply care about, that makes that unmistakably visible to yourself.
Or write it on a piece of paper. Put it on your mirror, your refrigerator, or the lock screen of your phone.
Do one small thing today that moves your life toward what you truly love.
Every creative act toward a life you love lifts you. Changes you. Reforms you.
Start now.
With whatever you have.
LIVE. REALLY LIVE. WHILE YOU’RE ALIVE.
You are given 1,440 minutes today.
Each one is an irreplaceable piece of the life you are living and the life you are building.
Spend some of the time you have left making this world more beautiful, more loving, more meaningful, more joyful.
Honor what wants to be created through you.
And while you are here…
Build something that helps somebody else remember to live, too.
Anyone reveling in a life truly worth living knows there is a fine art to keeping close, every day, what matters most.
Especially on the days when doing that feels hard, painful, or even impossible.
“Spar Street’s paintings and sculpture haunt me favorably every single day.”
— Jay Abraham
Here is some of what I have made with the time I have been given.
If it helps you keep what matters most close, come in.
When I let what’s real come through…
even when it’s uncomfortable…
inconvenient…
messy…
terrifying…
when I’m giving everything,
withholding nothing…
that is what changes everything.
If something in you recognizes this…
this is for that.
