About ORAPISM
Orapism seeks to reach that dimension in the human being which existed before the need to express ever arose. It is not a style or a movement, but rather an act of pure presence, embodied through the painted surface.
At the heart of Orapism lies Inacja – a state in which the artist ceases to be separate from the act. The hand still moves, yet consciousness no longer controls it; instead, it witnesses – fully, effortlessly. It is the moment in which the ego becomes silent, and something deeper flows through the body and gesture: the Self.

About ORAPISM & INACJA
It is not a technique. It is a decision not to control the Source. The painting is not a result. The painting is a passage – of the Self through the body, of the Source through the gesture. INACJA is the moment when the hand creates, but consciousness falls silent. It is a surrender—to not correct the Truth and not overshadow the light with oneself.

MANIFESTO of the End of the Binary World in the spirit of Orapism and INACJA

1. I do not declare a revolution. I declare silence.
   There will be no march. No crowds. No arguments for or against.
   Only this one moment — without subject or verb — when the paint settles on the canvas and the hand knows not what it does.
2. Binarity dies of meaninglessness.
   “Yes” and “No” without a body — disintegrate.
   “Truth” and “Falsehood” — lifeless — crumble like chalk.
   Orapism does not fight them. It feeds them… with color, with motion, with trembling.
   And they do not understand — and fall silent.
3. Here the split ends. Here the Self begins.
   Do not ask me whether this is art or therapy, philosophy or madness. Here, there are no two. No “me” and “world.” No observer and image. There is only the Breath, which lays itself on the canvas — and leaves a trace that cannot be interpreted. Only lived…
4. In this world, no one wins.
   You will not be right.
   You will not enter history.
   You will not be understood.
   But… if you stop for a fraction of a second — you will hear an unnamed truth, resonating only in the one who has stopped seeking.
5. Left hemisphere, rest now.
   We no longer need your tyranny of classification.
   Everything has already been named — and all of it has burned.
   It’s time to remove the armor of analysis, and let the image speak to the guts, not the glossary.
6. INACJA is not the end of action. It is the end of ego in action.
   You don’t have to stop creating.
   You have to stop wanting to create something specific.
   Rest from yourself.
   Let the hand guide you into the darkness, where the eye cannot see, but the Self knows.
7. This is not art for museums.
   It is art for the end of the world.
   When everything collapses — nothing will remain… except Presence.
   The painting that wasn’t made for anyone — will be lived by Everything.
