Sharon Stone says she talks to spirits and one confessed something utterly 'traumatic'
Sharon Stone has taken to the other dimension to help inspire her work.
The 67-year-old actress has been going through an "artistic journey" between acting and painting. She has found herself communicating with the unknown to help create her paintings.
She told Extra, "I think this channel really opened because so many of my members of my family died and they died really rapidly in these last maybe three and a half years. I genuinely hear this higher consciousness speak to me. When these portraits started coming through, they really talked to me.”
The "Basic Instinct" actress got emotional as she opened up about how she feels the need to thank the spirits after finishing her paintings, explaining, "I think it’s really special when they...when they allowed me to see their soul. Because I believe in universal consciousness, I do believe that someone has allowed me into their consciousness so that I could paint this portrait of someone that I don’t know. I feel so blessed.”
Sharon noted that one particularly impactful piece titled "Him" was inspired by a spirit who took a while to really open up, saying, "Eventually, when he started talking to me, it was so traumatic, and he started telling me that he drowned in a ship where he was chained in the hull of this ship. When I painted him and I experienced this trauma of him being chained and drowning and unable to get out of his chains, it was so upsetting to make this painting.”
She added at the time, "He was an enslaved person who drowned in the East China Sea on a slave ship. He had a very hard time talking to me, because as an enslaved person, he was not allowed to talk openly and freely. He had me experience his drowning with him.”
The piece was one of several put on display for her Rogues Gallery series.
Last month, a statement for the project teased, "These never-before-seen works created by Stone are powerful, haunting portraits of the spirits of people from different eras that she recently started to channel while painting.
