My painting, Shakti, is a celebration of divine feminine power, sovereignty, and sacred creation. I wrote about it for Alaere Magazine. Here’s an excerpt:

“I want viewers to sincerely ponder whether they find themselves feeling fear, attraction, or confusion when greeted with an unrestrained depiction of feminine passion and sensuality. Through this work, I consider the connections between different ancestral understandings of divine feminine power, spirituality, and the sacred nature of creation.

In Shakti, I connect this divine creative force to the sacral chakra and the womb space: the nucleus of divine intuition, imagination, and sovereign creation.”

- “Shakti: Abstract Expressionism Meets Sovereign Feminine Creation” by Odemi Pessu

How can artists still create art when the world feels like it is burning? For me, my art gives me a profound will to live. It reminds me that, indeed, a lust for life keeps us alive.

In this edition of The Heart Behind The Art, I share my musings on the importance of infusing sensuality into daily life and how my art helps me fall in love with life. I write:

"Even still, my art is my alchemy. My knowledge is my power, and my words are my sword. It is my only sovereign expression of love, hurt, rage, torment, redemption, and liberation. Without the freedom to make art, I am ripped of the ability to truly connect to the divine—and my defense of that connection is ultimately a revolutionary act of self-love."

This edition was also inspired by the work of Lana Del Rey—an artist who has inspired me for over a decade with her unabashed ability to alchemize pain into beauty and transmute agony into hope.

I hope you enjoy reading it, I also hope it reminds you that future gets to be sexy! 🤭

It's ok if you are in a season where you have to find new ways to fall in love with life...the important thing is that you never give up on doing so.

If this reflection resonated, you may also find depth in my book , Force of Nature.

It is a poetic exploration of honoring divine feminine energy for spiritual liberation and decolonization of mind, body, and spirit.

My newest addition to the Alaere Lifestyle art gallery.
Sweet Solitude by Odemi Pessu. A visual reminder to "be still and know."

Oil Pastel, Acrylic, and Glitter on Canvas. 24x20in.
Original painting available at alaerelifestyle.com/products/sweet-solitude-canvas… ☀️

You may wonder how it is possible to glide to the rhythm of expansion while surfing life’s chaotic seas.

The answer is found in the quiet moments no one else sees.

Consistency and discipline. Stillness and rest.
Sacred pauses to regain the strength to keep going.

This ebb and flow of energy is what I’ve come to appreciate as the “poetry of life.”

Sometimes progress comes from complete surrender to divine flow.

Sometimes solitude can be sweet.

Contrary to what social media would lead us to believe, there is actually beauty in the notion of an inerasable existence.

Our choices, our decisions, our actions are all the creation of a living archive: one commemorating our individual steps towards self-actualization.

In this edition of my LinkedIn newsletter, Heart Behind The Art, I ponder:

"How many facets of our life do we hit pause on because we are scared that our control will immediately dissipate once an outcome happens that we cannot undo?

How often do we hold our tongues, shift our perspectives, ignore opportunities for growth due to an unexplainable fear of a “permanent” unknown?"

We live in a society that tells us to endlessly curate ourselves, and erase any aspect of our identity that doesn't fit neatly into a box.

But this newsletter edition is a reminder that there is power in accepting the beauty of the present moment—even if it isn't what you initially imagined.

So take some time to be still in gratitude for the here and now. Embrace the lessons, but allow yourself to release the past.

You will be surprised by how little you wish to erase.

I had to post this video before the new moon! ✨ The lunar cycle always reminds me of my own internal cycles, and the alchemic power of human consciousness to attract miracles even when life feels dark.

I recorded this video to share the mindset that has deeply transformed my approach to life.

Mastering the thoughts and beliefs of my subconscious mind has helped me navigate the ebbs and flows of my soul's journey, whilst transcending into higher realms of self-actualization.

It all comes back to consciousness, radical faith, and law of assumption.

This is one of my favorite topics, and I will certainly record more videos exploring it.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this short and sweet reminder of the power of your imagination to magnetize your deepest desires in the 3D and beyond.

You are God consciousness. Always remember that!

With love and light,

In A World I'm Creating 🌵✨

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately exploring the interior design concept of Desert Maximalism.

It's a style that blends the architectural stillness of the desert with the bold, rhythmic energy of contemporary art & design.

For those of you following the art side of my journey, a limited edition run of this featured giclée print is available from my online gallery (only 165 in the collection).

It’s one of those artworks that really anchors a space, and I loved seeing it come to life in my latest curation guide for Alaere Magazine.

They lied to you about dark feminine energy.

Dark feminine energy is often misunderstood as mere seduction, or even wickedness!

But here's the truth:it’s your spiritual armor and the alchemy of shadow into power.

In my most recent video, I explore the real essence of the dark feminine.

Through the archetypes of Persephone, Oshun, and Cleopatra, we see that true feminine strength lies in the balance of softness and strategy, courage and sovereignty.

If you’ve been on a glow-up journey or exploring shadow work, it's time to reclaim this part of your divine feminine energy.
