Sneak peak at the some of the new works for the art show!

Egziabeher yemassagan, Glorify and Exalt Jah Name. Blessed Love, Give thanks. Jah Rastafari, Atse Haile Selassie First.

As an artist, time is often fleeting. I am excited to share the new works and show how the art is changing and developing. More impressionism and attention to backgrounds with an emphasis on landscapes.

At this particular time, having a broken arm, typing and describing the art is a slow process however the drive to paint has increased. So here is to less words and more visuals. The show will be running for a month, and there will special pieces to be announced that are exciting and unreleased work.

I hope you enjoy, inbox in the contact link if anything catches your eye. Brand new works for a brand new day.

“It is in His Faith He is Justified” Selassie Meditation.

A moment of praise, a meditation, a  Reasoning. Remember that many want to tell the World about How Great Emperor Haile Selassie the First is, and we tell them about His Deeds, and we exclaim His Words, and the results of His Visits, however these are not the Highest Credits in the Eyes of Men or God. It is in His Faith He is Justified, as ones debate the actions, or question some of the translations, their is no question that The King of Kings was the Defender of the Faith. A title that even the Orthodox Church acknowledges and vested on His Imperial Majesty. Let us reflect on His Faith, that He openly prayed before the Earth, that He quoted men of Faith, and proclaimed that by Faith He would Conquer.

Romans 5:1 “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,” The Subject of Faith would come up when ones would ask the Emperor about Rastafarians, and the words of, ” Don’t disturb their faith,” or ” No one should question the faith of others, for no human being can judge the ways of God” – Haile Selassie. The Conquering Lion of Judah spoke of Faith from the perspective of God and not in the usual manners. This is what many who criticize the Rastafari faith don’t understand, that the Emperor does want us to have faith in HIM and He doesn’t question the faith of others for He too has Faith in Us that We can do more than we think we can. For Jah is with Us.

We have heard the famous scripture, Hebrew 11, ” Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. … And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” This is what Christ spoke of, The Ancients like Abraham, and Noah who were not perfect men, they had faith. In the Book of Mathew, Christ said you have to become like children, to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. No matter what ones think, a child’s faith reminds I of many Rastafari in their jubilee, who Exalt Emperor Haile Selassie I! Many who can’t read, or write, and that doesn’t matter to Jah. It was because of Faith, Hebrew 11:5 tells us “By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death:”
No one is getting close to Jah because of intelligence or because of deeds, or how much Scriptures you read, your actions are separate from your Heart. In the Heart is where there is a voice that you listen too, or don’t. When you do, that is the Holy Spirit, that is there to see if you will earnestly seek with faith from the Heart which overruns the mind, and please the Father.
“Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God” – Romans 10:17, listen not in your head with your ears, listen to your heart through the unseen ears that listens to your Soul and God speaking. The events that brought His Imperial Majesty here were not like the usual ways that people come, it was from unseen, unforeseeable powers that only Jah could manifest. He calls us to understand the difference of fear in our head, to the fear in the Heart when the soul knows Jah Is. Like Noah had, Enoch and Job. It is Reverence in the Highest to the True Head. The True Head is the Almighty, and Fear of Him is the beginning of Wisdom. Ras is a word for Wisdom and for Head, Tafari means in Amharic, Fear or Reverence. Ras Tafari, ” Head worthy to be feared.” The Man and Message of Wisdom, Gave us by acknowledging us by His Name, His Name. “Make Prophecy realized” as Hon. Vaughn Benjamin sang. When we see The Emperor Display Wisdom as His Crown, He is Feared and Revered because He knew who He was before we did. We beheld His Words Come to pass. In Reverence our Spirit Is caused to move. When He and the Orthodox Church told Us He is the Power of the Trinity, as Revelation said He would, in a Name that only He would know, He Is. Emperor Haile Selassie, before the world, was seen on His White Horse and it was as He went to war..Revelation 19 “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.”
For those of us who are not vulnerable to check out here now tadalafil from india its effects due to health issues like high cholesterol or raised blood pressure or maybe diabetes. Moreover, when this particular valve dysfunctions, it opens at inappropriate times due to which the stomach acids enters the food pipe. That’s why a patient is suggested to take care of your vascular health. It may be a while before a person decides to go in for a check-up with the doctor. Our Faith isn’t in a Roman Construct of a Deity, it based on the Faith we saw actualized, the Prayers made and answered, Witnessing that against all odds, Good conquers over evil. The Results of Loving The Emperor Loving and Being The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The One God. He is a Living Bible, that has allowed us to be here, today, now, ushering in a new testament of the Word and Scriptures. We are that evidence of His Faith. And He still believes in Us, whether we believe in HIM. As sure as the Power of the Trinity is Everlasting, Haile Selassie I is here, to renew your spirit so you can feel the peace and righteous and blessed assurance of Jah in Your Heart. That As the Defender of the Faith, Emperor Haile Selassie I showed that even in the 21st Century, with Faith, Courage and Just Cause, David will still beat Goliath.
Give thanks and Praise to the Almighty One, Egziabher, Qedamawi First, Haile Selassie I, The Conquering Lion of Judah. Root of David. King of Kings. Power of the Trinity . God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. One God.

Newest Pieces for July 2020. ” Lion Heights.”

 Give thanks for the Day and the Month, the Lion Frequency is flowing fine.

Tears of Struggle

“Tears of Struggle”. Newest Painting. Juneteenth Joyting. 2020

What a Joy to create from the Heart to the Heart. It is a great time for reflection and art. It seems life itself has more value as it becomes more in peril. Music likewise, the message and substance is becoming more critical to the masses that are tired of seeing hypocrisy from each other, especially when it comes to culture versus pop culture.

 

Beginning the Joyting Juneteenth

Beginning the Joyting Juneteenth

As an African, there is a feeling that is beyond joy when I see us all united. It is a good feeling to see we are not just the entertainment but the event is geared to educate. It is important to see ourselves as Africans because it bings a geographic location of source and place, when we say “Black” we are describing ourselves by a color, in which no one else does. There is always context when the European created title “White” speaks on heritage, they know where they come from, and can elaborate. We must elaborate, and realize that Africa is where and why we are, and to embrace Africa is to embrace the Lion and the Times.  The Lion within, the Lion of Old, and the Lions of Tomorrow. Lions have represented Africa from  long time, and even though, many nations call themselves lions that don’t seem to show it when it comes to African Pride. We as Rastafari sight the Biblically referenced Conquering Lion of Judah as The Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie the First, and so it holds a Spiritual and Religious significance. The Unity of the Lion and Lamb is shown in Our works in what we call Livity.

Tears of Struggle

Tears of Struggle By Ras Elijah Tafari

This new piece, is done with Acrylic and Indian ink, represents the Victory and Pain of Our Walk as Africans. To paint it live was to be in touch with the collective pulse that made it vibe further, and also reminding I of the struggle we still are in as Humanity. The Struggle is to see that life isn’t about conquest and domination, and that many have to rise in true leadership. In this trod, Africans across the world have inspired the World to be better people and aspire to peaceful solutions. From Nelson Mandela, to Colin Kaepernick, countless Africans have encouraged humanity to attain the rights and dignity we all deserve. In this legacy there is a shared trail of tears. A shared African Experience. That shared journey is one in which Native Americans and Africans were mixed up and disenfranchised for multiple reasons. Many Africans in America have Native American blood and like the Indigenous of most nations, forcefully deprived of knowing their Native and African connections and families.

Still in the Joy-ting

Still in the Joy-ting

As people are learning that it took two years after the Emancipation Proclamation for Africans to learn of the end of slavery in Texas, here in New Mexico it took another 2 years after that. It wasn’t until 1867, after Congress passed the Peonage Act on March 2nd 1867 that Slavery was addressed in Territories. It specifically addressed NM having widespread slavery of Africans and Native Americans. The Humming bird in painting represents the Native Communities of the Past and present, who we share our blood and tears with, and pray that the struggle can bring us strength to continue to be beautiful warriors,  like hummingbirds, standing strong and fighting.

Ras Elijah Tafari with New Joyting

This is an interesting and insightful time, the media and society at large has a long way to go to truly explore the the nature of the serious destruction, that is the status quo. We have a duty to make more than non bias journalism or propaganda,…we have a duty to be authentic. To be real, keep it raw and also professional. We represent all those who came before and will come after, and to lively up the area using the powers that dwell within, spark a fire of real creative culture and innovation – inspires others to open up and look within. With music and art, you’re allowed to be emotional, it’s good, and the way we deal with them, to respect the messages in the emotion is worth reminding others through artistic drive. With a Heart of Joy, I thank you for reading and checking the art. Lots more to come, and give thanks for Life. It is an honor to be here and help be a strength to those that need more art and love and culture.

The Cry for Justice. New Times with New Artwork! Ras Reasoning.

In the required precision of words in this time, InI had to take a time and meditate on the moment and thoughts that haven’t been said that could be a strength. I also am joyful to present new art that InI have produced in the last couple of months in conjunction.

At the Alter. Oil.

At the Alter. Oil.

We have globally entered a new time, and it is one that asks us to be more than we have ever been. The Covid-19 Pandemic challenged the politics and manipulation of words and truth. More of the World realized the power and weaknesses of being a world interlinked and somewhat reliant on each other. The ideas of rightwing governments clearly does contribute to a larger death rate than necessary. The wild conspiracies that have been unleashed fall apart easier because of the need for evidence in which there is none supporting the arguments, examples: that masks are political or that Antifa is behind the social unrest resulting in International Protests.  There is a need to express that though many are manipulating the narrative, Covid-19 is real, and it is important to realize that no matter who started it, it is a global threat and should be taken seriously.  What also needs to be taking seriously is learning opportunity that has been placed on the World to receive in order for humanity to evolve, concerning blatant racism, systematic racism, institutional racism, and environmental racism. All of these will come down to the methods of Empire, both modern and classical. The moment and timing may seem scripted or produced, keep in mind that the media’s job is to script and produce, it’s supposed to appeal to an entertainment quality not a accurate or true narrative. Journalism since its inception has strived, yet rarely achieves a non bias stance. Alright, next subject, True Liberation..

African Tears2:2020

African Tears2:2020

Rastafari as a movement is based in Black Liberation, it could be said that all faiths are based in liberation theology in order to have a liberating appeal and affect. Rastafari as a movement as diverse as we are, that realize that purpose of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I standing against Fascism and Colonialism, was that of a Spiritual war that attacked Foreign domination, resulting in the call for collective security, international morality and human rights. It was the moment when an African Voice would usher in a greater humanity if accepted. We look from an African perspective about ambitions that nations propose, and whether it is based on true unity or exploitation. For the most part, it seems that the methods of capitalism that most nations export is fostered on exploration of the poor and the destruction of the environment. Hence why looking at the treatment of the poor, who will be people of color in majority internationally will lead ones to conclude that attacking racism will conclude in the attacking of the foundation of capitalism and empire as we know it. Mystery Babylon.

HaileSelassieITyme.

HaileSelassieITyme.

There is difference between African American Political Science and Black Liberation, a difference between Political Pains and Prophetic Pain. What is happening within and around the Black Lives Matter movement is addressing the micro in the macro. Slowly the reasoning is expanding to the inherent relationship between Empires and the racism in many forms that exist locally where ever people live. It is not a solely American problem as international protests reveal, it is also not a new problem. When in my hometown of Albuquerque N.M. where a statues of Don Juan Onate were either forcefully removed or the removed by the city, reminded the world that racism was brought over by the Spanish, in which many were themselves were running from the Spanish Inquisition masking their Jewish identity. Sometimes in the case of Onate, the Spanish themselves found Onate to be a monster and told never to return to NM. The State has agreed, that it is backwards. Likewise the actual multi-national corporations that were involved in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade were not of one nation or nationality.  Extraordinary things are happening right now, as English Banks admit their guilt. Many corporations across the Earth as well as Banks are simply accepting that they have profited from Black Suffrage and want to make amends in some way. For the first time reparations are being spoken about in European countries that may result in action. Rastafari as a movement hold that Reparations, and Repatriation is part of the Redemption of Mankind. Being part of the process no matter where ones are from is a work for humanity at large and a Glory to God.

A Song for the Fire.

A Song for the Fire.

Though I am skeptical of ” Allies “, we indeed are a people that are all in the same boat and it is in truth that we will be better off as humanity working together. There is a great hypocrisy in the midst of the ignorance of the general United States population. Not to be condescending, coming from an African perspective, the United States is the Policeman that has had his knee on the neck of most of the world for decades. Except when Trump’s favorite dictators see dissent they use live bullets given by the United States to kill their citizens. The importance of the US citizens to be aware of the military industrial complex and the methods of control used by the super powers of the world, will conclude that there is no desire what so ever, to have accountability in the course of violent domination. Journalist as often seen as the enemy, and no one is exempt from being beaten. This was made very clear by Trumps Administration rejection of The International Criminal Courts investigation into human rights violations by US soldiers in Afghanistan on US soil. Afghan lives don’t matter to this government or the majority of its tax payers. The same Knee of the USA is on the necks of people of Yemen, Palestine, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Somalia, Libyans, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Muslim Chinese, Haitians, Cubans, Venezuela, and many more where their lives are discarded and the US is majority responsible.  These proxy wars, and drone attacks and sanctions, result in mass numbers of innocent men, women and children dying. Europes and the United States Foreign Policy is based on Military strength and has taught other nations that the law is about domination. The illusion of ” Freedom ”  and “Democracy” and Human Rights are a vague concept to most the world, this is because it is usually the US or another foreign power/ corporation that exercises their will on that population to feed that entities needs. They buy warlords, mercenaries, and politicians. This is the status quo, it has been so for thousands of years.

There is no bad place to start when it comes to proper policing and governance, where ever it starts is positive, and that it is built on is even more crucial. We have heard ideas grow, and even enacted when it comes to defunding the police, ( which doesn’t mean eliminating policing). The history of why there is so many police, the drug war, and racism is all connected and should be looked at internationally as a form of a war on the poor, and also a reflection of their governments reliance of military power over peaceful forms of communication. There is a need for proper peace keepers to be empowered, and this is often where Spiritual meet Political. The call for Justice will only open up the serious wounds that are carried by indigenous people, it will also bring to light the global bias and disempowerment of women. As a human race, the fight for true equality and basic respect has only just begun, and no matter where the spring arises, it should be utilized to water as many plants as possible. We cannot forget that the fight for Justice and Rights is one that is rooted in Spiritual thought, and part of why Emperor Haile Selassie I presents so many solutions for the World to actualize. That this is a battle of Empire, a battle of the nature of what makes of the Kingdom of the Most High, or that of Babylon.

For Us as Rastafari, the way you see the Creator reflects about how you see yourself, and how the I see the I self, is how others will also see you. We are a reflection of an African King and Queen, and it is in the Order of the Conquering Lion of Judah, The King of Kings and the Queen of Kings we walk. Ethiopia is a beacon for the world to learn of perspectives and teaching that is not Euro-centric and yet also embracing of others. We see Earth as being both Heaven and Hell, and that this time was given as a challenge to live up to the Words of Emperor Haile Selassie I, that these are the last days of Babylon and that the Root of David, The Lion and the Lamb have already come to prepare us for this day and the days to come. Let the Earth be cleansed, and restored, as well as Our Hearts and Minds.

Welcome to the Winter Series, “Out of the Dark.” It is title so because of the many changes that have happened this Winter. Lots of those we Love have completed their cycle on this plane, and we all have had life teaching and challenging us. Let Jah Light Beam In. This series documents Nov. to Jan. of the art that has been made. Special for this presentation are many paintings never published will be shown today for the first time. I will not include the Scroll of Reasons because it has already been shared and written on in detail. All the pieces below are available as prints and some of the originals are available. I would like to thank everyone who collaborated in the visions and the art itself. 4 Joy-tings are collaborations with others, and that is super cool and special. I also have received many ideas from others that I have put into the art. Thank you everyone for the support and strength. You will be mentioned with the piece!

Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas.

“Christ On the Rock “Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas.

This is the first piece I did after I received a surgery on my spine. It was an interesting point, because I had to see if my motor skills were good after having my spinal cord decompressed. This would allow my nerves to work on my left side of my body which had been giving me problems. The Joy-ting was that. The feeling of doing the stretches involved in painting and feeling muscles work again was what I needed. The Joy-ting came out with ease and effortless. A too effortless, and that is why I decided to put a more dramatic background than I previously had. My son’s and I worked on it together and made a video about painting techniques. You can check it here.  Ras Elijah Painting   The first canvas came out lovely after the surgery and it was time keep up the works. The Original was sold to Mr. Greg Tate and I thank him for the huge support in the efforts to make the art spawn the vision to reality.

" From Heart To Mouth " by Dre-Z Melodi and Ras Elijah Tafari. Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas. 20"x28"

” From Heart To Mouth ” by Dre-Z Melodi and Ras Elijah Tafari. Acrylic and Indian Ink on Canvas. 20″x28″

This piece is for a special upcoming project, to be announced..It was a very heights project, that focuses on Rastafari. Here Emperor Haile Selassie  I is shooting energy into the Lion Man on the Earth. His Imperial Majesty shooting it from the Orb is to show that is the Energy of the Earth and the Fullness there-of which is that The Lord shoots into him. Out of the Lion Man’s mouth is the river that flows through the gentle land scape of New Mexico, symbolizing the Words of the Rastaman. Dre-Z took the lead with this piece and made the landscape perfect for New Mexico. His pueblo design is great and colors captured the New Mexican tierra perfectly. Likewise composition and layout was Dre-Z at the lead. This is the second Joy-ting we have worked on together, looking forward to lots more. The triangle designs are a traditional native design once again brought by Dre-Z. We would like to also give InI daughter, Tana Tafari-Morgan a hail up for painting in the pyramids. The original is available and prints as well.  http://blog.raselijah.com/shop/products/from-heart-to-mouth-by-dre-z-melodi-and-ras-elijah-tafari/

" Ethiopia, Lifts the World." By Ras Elijah Tafari and Dre-Z Melodi. Acrylic, Gold, and Indian Ink on Canvas.

” Ethiopia, Lifts the World.” By Ras Elijah Tafari and Dre-Z Melodi. Acrylic, Gold, and Indian Ink on Canvas. Original sold, prints available.

This piece is the 3rd I have done with Dre-Z Melodi. It is for a very special upcoming project…Placed on a New Mexico landscape, it goes with the last piece. This piece says          ” Ethiopia ” in Amharic, in a whirlwind. On the Whirlwind are the ancestors praying and singing for our resurrection and transcendence throughout the rising times. Seven Priests in Black represent each of the Seals placed on the Book, and the 9 priests below represent the everlasting order of Melchizadok.  The Man and Woman are the Balance of the Earth in their decision to use the Fire and Heart of His and Her Majesty to fly like hot air balloons but higher.  In their levitation/ livication to the King and Queen of Kings they are able to be the purple lotus. The lotus symbolize the Royal Children of Jah that have not been forsaken in the mud and moss, but grow like beauty for ashes. The Power of the Heart illustrated by Dre-Z goes off the page to reach out to go beyond the image. This is the most detailed I have gone into painting the Crowns of His and Her Majesty, Haile Selassie the First and Empress Asfaw Menen.  St. George is proudly shown on His Crown as is The Madonna on Her Crown. This piece has been spoken for, however prints look good and are available. This piece hasn’t been seen till today and we are excited to see this get out to the World!
