Gregory Lent
Sacred Forms : Silent Visions
"Gregory Lent’s work pulses with an ecstatic rhythm, where forms shimmer, dissolve, and reappear—leading the viewer into a space of wonder, delight, and spiritual resonance."
"Gregory Lent’s compositions are visual mantras, invoking the vibrational frequencies of higher states of awareness."
Rooted in the sacred and holy landscapes of Tiruvannamalai, India, Gregory Lent's work emerges from a space of deep stillness and inner awareness. Often using recycled or discarded materials—wood, copper, pigments, and mirror fragments—he constructs visual meditations that reflect the unseen forces shaping existence.
Each piece is unique and an exploration into consciousness, being, vibration and resonance. Just as a mantra vibrates beyond its syllables, his art seems to evoke states of presence, expansion, and reflection. In these shapes and textures, one might glimpse the silent vastness of the self, the rhythms of the universe, or the ephemeral nature of identity itself.
His artistic journey is inseparable from the spiritual path, his art is his spiritual practice and meditation.
"Creation, for me, is a means of inquiry—into the nature of reality, the thresholds between form and emptiness, and the subtle energies that connect all things. In a world that moves fast, my work asks the viewer to pause, to feel, and to remember that art, at its highest form, is not just seen but experienced".

The Seven Faces of Gregory Lent
Arunachala, also known as Annamalai, is a sacred mountain in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India, venerated for centuries as a living embodiment of Lord Shiva in the form of fire. Its global spiritual significance was illuminated in the 20th century through the radiant presence of Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi, who recognized the mountain as the supreme Self and made it his eternal home. His silent presence and teaching of Self-inquiry—the direct path of asking “Who am I?”—offered a gateway to inner freedom and divine realization that transcended religious and cultural boundaries. With unwavering stillness and unconditional compassion, Ramana touched the hearts of seekers from all walks of life, guiding them to the source of all being. Because of him, Arunachala is not only a place of pilgrimage but a spiritual axis for humanity, calling those ready to awaken into truth, peace, and the eternal Self.

- His art is an invitation to joy—a vibrant interplay of light, texture, and spirit that awakens a deep sense of delight and discovery.
- I have been a collector of Gregory's art for many years. Because he creates it at the foot of Arunachala, with great intent, meditation and vision, this comes through in his work and pulses with this communication.
- Gregory is the real deal. A true artist that cannot stop creating. His studio is full of many rooms of work and explosions of color and sculpture and paintings and visual wonder.
