ECA

stands as a bridge between the professionals, the amateurs and the art loving public at large.Come and let your Talents shine! ECA's vision: We at ECA want to expand the idea of sharing conscious thoughts and philosophies in order to bring about elevated consciousness through the medium of Art. ECA will not be confined by man made boundaries, we begin in our communities but Senegal Conscious Art,Eritrea Conscious Art, Japan Conscious Art is the aim………… we wish to see a branch in Art named conscious art, the goal is to see Art become a continuous process ………commonly the artist produces and the art buyer buys… and the art and the philosophy disappears in the confines of the art buyers living room or office wall….but Ethiopian conscious Art wishes to take the philosophy behind the art and share it as to bring about dialogue and sharing of wisdom … not only through colour sound paint and words but through the channeling of the energy of UNITY PEACE LOVE UNDERSTANDING AND INFINITY with the collaboration of the art, the artists and we at ECA,the vision is to bring about an elevated paradigm(perception) to whomever comes in contact with the intention of ECA and CA ,
We wish to create an artistic way to a greater sight allowing us to enjoy best this wonderful life we wish to let the artist and the art speak regardless of the artists sex,age,religion .status and affiliation. We begin in Ethiopia but IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING............ the dream is to bring about an elevated paradigm(perception) worldwide through the power of Art. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ note for professional artists~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ECA, Ethiopian Conscious Art’s vision is to partake in the worldwide evolution of consciousness. We hope to elevate those who come in contact with its primary intention which is the spread of Universal Love through the medium of Art. We aspire to be a universal network of conscious Artists and Art Lovers who exchange a common vision of Peace, Love and Unity. We also want to further develop the traditional way of the art process. In the traditional way, the artist creates, the art buyer buys and in the process, the wisdom of the art remains confined in this two way transaction. But we at ECA want to give the artists’ message and philosophy due attention. We want to communicate the essence of the artwork on the internet so as to reach many. Thus, we have created Ethiopian Conscious Art, ECAmovement on FACEBOOK, a perpetual digital gallery to expose the artists’ art and philosophy! Additionally we want to give art lovers the chance to visualize the Art and the artist through our unique online Art videos. (In brief we will interview the artist and film his /her work/ in order to bring to light the core intention, motivation, essentials and truth in their respective work. We will eventually upload the videos and the photographed arts, for further discussion on the internet, mainly through our YouTube channel (ecamovement Ethiopia) which is directly linked to our page, www.facebook.com/ecamovement.) We are here, to share the light of Truth which is in us all, and we have chosen Art which is an international medium that is not limited by boundaries, race, status nor religion..........All is Art, Art is for All. To conclude, we are on
-on Facebook (ecamovement) to help the artist reach more people
-on YouTube (ecamovement Ethiopia) to help people visualize the Art and the Artists philosophy

But first and foremost:

What is ECA? Ethiopian Conscious Art
What is conscious? Conscious is a relatively higher level in perception, it has no limit upwards, it is the mark of an individual who deliberately seeks to develop harmony of thought speech and action bound in energies of love ,peace, respect, mutual understanding and an unwavering vision of Universal Love. A conscious artist wants to promote the values of goodness and purity. A conscious artist likes to share his inspirations and creations with others. A conscious artist wants his work to be an instrument of the Absolute Truth. A conscious artist wants to utilize his art to help all people without limitation or discrimination. A conscious artist searches for ways to express his sadness about the abuse of this world and its living creatures by misuse of free will by people who haven't had the chance to experience light. A conscious artist tries to see universal love behind the veils of this "world", and tries to show others the way to gain such perception. A conscious artist feels a strong commitment to universal love. A conscious artist appreciates all other conscious artists without discrimination of caste, color, religious background etc. What is our benefit? Our benefit is layered and many folds. First and foremost, sharing thoughts of peace and love comes back to us many folds. Giving others the chance to shine and share their talents gives us more than pleasure of senses....it gives us purpose. We believe that truth grows as we grow. And many of the artists we will include in our ECA family, have many experiences in Truth ,and to have their wisdom and sight included in our vision will give our ultimate vision more life, and it will give us motivation to work and help us spread Peace and Love worldwide, through the medium of Art. Conscious Art energized by the medium of video spread through the technology of the internet (Facebook) may be our brain child but the goal is to spread it worldwide, as Artists and Art lovers will begin to see the benefit.

We are open 24/7!!! Anytime is good for Art!!!! Inspiration is not bound from 9 to 5!! Do we have a studio? Yes, we have a nice and quiet studio in development on one of the finest neighborhoods in Ethiopia, the "green" Bole homes, not far from the airport; you can also showcase your work there, if you wish it so. We will present your work alongside your video......... even if you are not there, the art buyer can meet you through our unique ECA Art video that we will have the pleasure of producing. The art lovers/buyers can be able to visualize all your work and feel your philosophy on screen!! Another idea born in ECA!! Are we artists? We are more “Conceptors” ,we conceive ideas, and ideas flow like the Nile, thanks be to the creator! But we believe every man who takes responsibility of his actions and begins to create willingly is an artist, for he has become a creator of his present and thus his future. For ultimately life is ART. Even if we are not as profoundly connected with paint nor music nor words as the painters and musicians and writers featured on ECA there are insights of life we have discovered and we want to share with the public. ECA is the very medium we have conceived and that will let us deliver our vision of universal love, it is a combined network of everything, from music, poetry, painting, to photography, we may not be as good at every art mentioned above but we know artists who have perfected the Art and if you are reading this right now, we believe you may be one of them. We want to speak through you the one language we are all supposed to speak in the first place, LOVE. For we all should be voices of the ultimate. That is why ECA is born in the first place. Because of those insights that need to come out. On another note, besides ECA, we also make documentary films, our latest was a documentary to help the 30 plus Ethiopian university presidents get more fund as to help them get more training in order to unleash and better their leadership skills. In doing so, we will help generations of young Ethiopian students become more qualified as a result of having a farsighted ,efficient and effective leader.
. Art wise, we also take pictures, we love capturing the moment, it teaches us that every moment passes, and that we should not be attached to any particular moment, for life itself is a perpetual creation. So even if we do not have our cameras at hand, we choose to take "pictures" of love peace and laughter with our minds. For the mind is the camera of life, and the more we upgrade our camera (elevate our consciousness), the more quality pictures we would take, the better the life we would lead. Quote that drives us:
“We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything without nothing.” Mother theresa. Questions for the video:

What is your message ? What is your underlying philosophy? What genre of Art do you create? Why the choice of such patterns? Why the choice of such colours? What is the feeling that you want to share? What is the feeling that led you to create this work? What is the unique touch you bring forth in your Art? Do you believe that life in itself is Art? If so why? And the like……
