Lex - The singer, performance artist & mystic

​The Dutchman Lex van Someren, who lives in Germany since 1994, is a visionary performance artist, musician, composer, singer, dancer and clown of international renown. He knows how to embody the dimensions of the soul in his art. Yet it is more than an art to address the depths of the soul. Lex connects with the sacred source of all being and is the mediator for the connection to the divine. This creates a space in which people can immerse themselves in deep self-centering and can touch, deepen and strengthen the space of the soul within themselves when they enter into resonance.
Lex sees himself as a teacher of consciousness and helps people to remember the deep dimension of their soul, which is divine, which is love. His music, his stage performances and his seminars are all characterised by this understanding.
His work is an expression of his vision and calling to open up spaces of the soul with his unique sacred performance art, his sacred music, his music darshans and seminars in order to invite people of all ages and walks of life to a holistic inner experience of love, grace and devotion. Concert halls become sacred spaces in which people can experience the dimension of their soul-essence, which is divine.
On his life's journey, Lex discovered the interaction of inner awareness work and performing, artistic expression in his creation of sacred music. He recognises in it not only a healing and transformative power, but also a path of deep mystical experience and powerful vitality, which flow through him in his sacred art and in his events. This music is an expression of the higher divine consciousness, which can be heard and felt in wonderful sound spaces and multi-dimensional arrangements.
Lex's own life processes have been deeply transformative, so that he now stands with this power in the service of the divine source. The performances with his healing music and his strong presence are now called ‘Darshan Concerts’ because he builds a bridge between heaven and earth so that people can perceive heaven and earth as one.
The term ‘darshan’ means being together in an awareness of higher divine consciousness. Darshan also takes place in the seminars when people penetrate deep into the core of their soul essence. Thus, a new dimension of consciousness expansion and awakening has developed in his music and sacred singing and chanting, as well as dance, humour and sacred performance art and in seminars, through which people are led to the source of their own divine essence, their soul.
Many people regard Lex and his work as an expression of modern spirituality. As a teacher and mystic, he combines ancient spiritual knowledge with contemporary expressive musical and artistic elements.
Until 2025 Lex van Someren has composed and produced 52 CDs together with his congenial musical partner Frank Steiner and released this music through his own publishing company, AYAM Visionary Art Productions. His music has been recognised worldwide by doctors, therapists, (yoga) teachers and healers for its deeply effective, healing and highly energetic vibration.
His unrivalled vocal spectrum blends sound elements from many eras and cultures. Lex sings with soft tones, but also with a powerful voice that has a range of four octaves, that goes directly into the hearts of his listeners. He performs most of his songs in a melodic flow of syllables, which he calls the language of his soul or light language and which enables universal expression. The warmth and tenderness of the highest and lowest registers of his voice, embedded in the beautiful sounds of sensitive instrumental arrangements, penetrate to the deepest part of his listeners' hearts.
Lex also sings a wide selection of mantras. Mantras are sacred chants that originate from different cultures and religions and contain a simple, repetitive text that reminds us of the divine source within ourselves. Chanting mantras is a common means of meditation and prayer around the world as a praise to true life. Mantras lead you deep into your inner stillness and into an encounter with the divine within you.

The inner work with Lex van Someren shows you how to fully engage with yourself and you experience how even from desperate situations gates open and you find deep meaning and fulfillment in your life. It is his concern to lead you into your inner and outer independence and freedom.
On his way of life Lex discovered the interaction of inner consciousness work and performing, artistic expression in music. He recognizes in it not only a healing and transforming power, but also a path of deep mystical experience and powerful aliveness, which flow through him in his art and in his seminars. This has developed into his profound seminars "Essence of the Soul", with a new dimension of consciousness expansion and awakening through healing rituals, music, song, movement, dance, humor and stage art, through which people are led to the source of their own being.
His sense of humor combined with his unique abilities to capture and seize the moment, and deep, loving respect for the uniqueness of each individual, allow the seminars to become a space of growth and healing whose effects reverberate far beyond the day of the gathering.

Lex van Someren as Autor
The book "Multi-Dimensional Sacred Art" by Lex van Someren
It was published in 2002. As it has been sold out for many years, Lex would like to make the book available for all to read now (2023) because he believes it is more relevant than ever, in terms of "a new (higher) consciousness for the arts on the New Earth."
Foreword by Lex:
Many thoughts, observations and experiences in relation to my work as an artist matured in me in the years between 1980 - 2001 until a certain clarity crystallised for my own path in art, as a musician and stage artist. The urge to write all this off my chest then grew and grew. I sensed that this writing down would be an important unfolding moment for me and my visions.
Although I am not really a writing person, I was very inspired to dedicate myself to this work and am happy that I was finally able to write everything out of myself. I am aware that this is not a complete book. That was not my intention either. I was specifically interested in presenting the visions of sacred art as I received them, so that I could share them with those around me.
It is a matter close to my heart to formulate food for thought about how we deal with art and with the word "art" in our present and future society. I hope that my words and the many quotes from others that I have used in the process will lead to more clarity and awareness, and to thinking more deeply about art in our time and for the future (for our children!). From that point of view, this book is meant as a stimulus for discussion.
I want to present a concrete vision for the arts and foreshadow how and why the new artists will be the healers and shamans of the 21st century, not only through their art but also through the high vibration of their presence.

The Clown
Lex van Someren as a Mystic Clown
From 1980 to 1997 Lex van Someren was on the road throughout Europe with his stage performances as a theater clown. The first 10 years he mainly delighted children and young people with his extraordinary and heartwarming art of clowning. Since 1990 he has specialized in clown theater for adults of all ages!
He has passed on his experience as a clown in well over 2000 performances to many people in his international seminars and professional trainings "TAO of the Clown". Since 1997 Lex has been concentrating on his music and concerts and only occasionally presents his clowning skills in various concerts and in the large stage artwork "Lex van Someren's Traumreise", with which he toured internationally from 2007 to 2014.
In a natural way Lex presents clowning as a sacred and healing art form, where silence and "nothingness" (emptiness) become the source of inspiration for spontaneous improvisations on stage.
Nurtured by his sense of the oneness of things, this clown returns again and again to the simplicity of being.


With ease he plays with the perception of the everyday and the human soul. He makes the new familiar and the familiar new. His humor, his inspiration, his life experience have made him a wise fool, who in his openness is a mirror for the world around him. With great passion and respect, Lex van Someren as a clown involves his audience as his fellow performers.
Statements from two notable fellow artists about this clown:
- "This reminds me of Chekov - so delicate and centered. It shows an inner vitality that is out of this world. This is truly sacred theater." - Paula Morel, ballet dancer -.
- "It is pure poetry. This clown is a 'child of paradise' and we all long to be taken back to that happy land. His magic touches the hardest heart."-Kathleen Raine, poet.
