Whoever does not know how to look deeply into a flower and extract the essence of a symbol meant to be the subject of a painting detached from imagination, will never be able to accept the reality of an experience of self-knowledge.

I always make a stop in this place: a greenhouse full of flowers, full of alluring smells, of calls, of vivid colors. It is definitely a natural space dedicated to aesthetics. And only my garden knows what it wants from this place, it wants a comparison with a similar model of mutualism, in terms of the content of an image in which any flower smiles happily at the sight of her portrait illustrated on canvas. I am an artist, because any flower that delights my sight immediately becomes a projection of reality on the canvas of creation.

Sometimes I go out in the garden just to remember the tranquility of that greenhouse where the flowers grow faster, blending with other plants and where the most vivid colors predominate. I never thought that a greenhouse so full of flowers would beautify my garden one day, with species born in a space full of diversity, with a contrasting chromatic effect.

Artistic creation is defined by the ability to bring a new and exciting vision, like a return to a place never seen.

And here I am again in the place where my garden got its first rose, the first lily, the first geranium or the first daffodil years ago. Order doesn’t matter anymore. But the very fact that something in my garden is part of that wonderful greenhouse, much more interesting than any visit to Dubai, makes me think that I have a chic flower shop, defined by style and elegance, whose work of art can only catch the eye of the painter who properly appreciates the aesthetics of light meant to dominate Paradise. This also distinguishes between “poetry” and “nature”.

I’m expected to be an artist myself, aren’t I? Because I knew how to gather from a single greenhouse only those flowers from which the composition of the image that beautifies my garden was created. Not for nothing, the essence of the symbol of a rose is the very effect it will have on those who look at it: “A return to a place never seen”.

Can you find yourself in a variant of the reason for reviewing a visual experience in which a new image of Reality appears, depending on the state you generate within a thematic space such as: “The House of Nature”?

Have you noticed how an artist is formed? One is formed by joining flowers of contrasting colors, sizes or shapes, suggesting beauty, purity, light, life. Their characteristic is the fluidity of the composition that forms the subject of the painting, the open horizon, the lively rhythm of the birth of ideas and their exposition in front of a spectator who sees himself in the center of the world around him. Whoever does not know how to look deeply into a flower and extract the essence of a symbol meant to be the subject of a painting detached from the imagination, will never be able to accept the reality of an experience of self-knowledge.

The next time you visit a greenhouse, knowing you are much closer to art, you may think of my wonderful, well-kept garden, admired by passers-by, where the flowers seem to compete in their charming fragrance and multicolored colors. I don’t know why I think so, but my garden is much more enchanting than any greenhouse. Because here in my garden, I can be myself. I feel good, I feel at ease. With only the care of color arrangements in mind.

In a variant of this approach to art, a new image of man living in the middle of nature appears and is seen as an important part of it, as he is portrayed by the writer Gheorghe Schwartz in the novel “The Wizard Apprentice”:

“It felt to me that I was extremely tired that day. I was expecting something, I’m not sure what exactly. Something very strange was happening to me. Sometimes – maybe due to fatigue – I have the feeling that everything is happening outside of me, that I play no role in what’s happening around me. I look then without thinking about the beauties around me, but reason fragmented into thousands of sparks sparkles in surprising judgments, unrelated to each other. I was and at the same time wasn’t myself: I saw them all, I found the strangest comparisons and, in the meantime, I looked at myself like someone else, participating as a spectator in my own show. I could see everything, but I didn’t notice anything that would have such a mood-enhancing effect, or at least nothing striking.”

Have you noticed why an artist is more than a fan of colorful flowers, able to find comparisons between symbols and reality? Because, regardless of the state he has in when utilizing symbolism in art, he looks at himself as someone else, participating as a spectator in his own show (which can be seen from the flowering of the garden).

Visual experience is the perception you form of what excites you when what attracts you is what you admire about yourself through resemblance or comparison to the soul of nature.

The visual experience in which a new image of Reality appears is closely related to the perception you have about the world around you when you are the only witness to the evolution of a theme called: “Personalization of a variety of emotions experienced through comparison."

The Artist And The Beginnings Of His Art refer to the reality of a self-knowledge experience in which the possibility to access a high level of spirituality depends on how you use the true spectacle of nature to perform a personal exploration in order to promote an authentic Creation.
