KOSMISCHES ERKENNEN (Cosmic Awareness)
Dimensions: 62,5 x 52,5
Date Taken: August 19th 2022
The painting reached Brazil in 1932 after being sold by the artist under the aforementioned name, initially in Rio de Janeiro. For almost 100 years, its existence was only known through an obscure black-and-white photograph. In 2019, it was acquired from the hands of the granddaughter of the first purchaser in São Paulo and is now privately owned in Germany. After a successful restoration, it now shows itself again in its full colorfulness.

VERMÄHLUNG
(Marriage)
Dimensions: 65 x 55
Date Taken: November 18th 2020
The painting is simply titled 'Spiritual Painting' in the frame, but not in the painter’s handwriting.
The title previously given was 'The Jewel', but also 'Wedding" or 'Marriage'. The name Vermählung is a suggestion by the German Bô Yin Râ Foundation.
Bô Yin Râ painted the picture as a wedding gift for a couple who were friends, but the parcel got lost and arrived at the young couple only after a delay of five years!
WEIHENACHT
(*referring to Christmas)
Dimensions: 48 x 48
Date Taken: March 10th 2021
In his lecture 'Symbolform und Wirklichkeit in den Bildern von Bô Yin Râ' (Symbolic Form and Reality Itself in the Paintings of Bô Yin Râ) Rudolf Schott suspects Weihenacht is the only picture that belongs to both, the secular and the spiritual realms. This assumption is supported by the signature in the form of a pentagon, which combines the initials of the spiritual and birth name of the artist and which otherwise only appears on spiritual paintings.
* The word Weihenacht is referring to Christmas (Weihnacht) and may also be read as 'Night of Consecration', the word 'Weihe' means consecration in German.
