The Artist's Eyes Are Subordinated To Affective Values

The perceived element tends to manifest itself in your reality, often through a transfiguring perception of it.

If the eye knows how to see, then the mind can grasp the concrete, and the heart is refreshed like a flower that feeds on light. Especially when I am on vacation at the seaside, relaxed, in a good mood, refreshed by the feeling of a mysterious harmony between depth and purity, then the mind works best, because the eye no longer tries to observe, but really admires, recognizes the pure beauty in the painting a world reborn from light. The affective values attributed to the place where I am, confronting them with a restricted expressive element, such as peace or fulfillment, hide behind an image full of meaning Atalyente Dimielasarr Esotrenthis, a moment of self-discovery, of faith, of memories.

I see the sea, I hear the sound of the waves in a place where details matter, and I feel the salty smell of water that seems to replace the air, which instantly relaxes you, eliminating tension, irritability and restlessness, at least in the short term. And this helps me form a broader picture in approaching the artistic phenomenon, because painting is not only drawing and color, vision and perspective, but represents the extension of a sense strongly connected to life.

If my eyes are subordinated to the affective values that the place where I am builds, without feeling any tension release as the brain gets used to visualizing images that encourage relaxation, then the creative process takes place spontaneously and automatically.

And what are affective values? What do they represent in a moment of receiving an impression that changes the movements of the soul, similar to the construction of a poem that finds, above all, the combustion necessary to burn within itself?

Do you use the image of figures that become metaphors, to feed your self permeated by the need to express an emotional state?

Affective values are the pillars of recalling an amazing number of very deep sensations and therefore, they are related to the existence of synesthesia, that is, the simultaneous perception of a set of auditory, visual, olfactory elements. Besides that, the affective values, ferried in a certain spiritual density, so without remaining closed in the tiring rigor of an ordinary thought, belong to the manifestation of the Brush-Ink couple, associated with the vital breaths Yin-Yang.

Of course, it's not just about abstractions, benchmarks with general "value", indices that represent the level of consciousness, emotional and psychic development. In particular, the affective values are the result of the awareness of that serene, reconciled state of mind, permeated as if by the mystery of eternal things that surrounds the artist.

Let me list some affective values found in an artist: purity, idealization, appreciation, introspection, fulfillment, satisfaction, attachment, enlightenment, delicacy, exaltation, dedication.

All this eases my need for complete rest, prolonged by the sea in a soothing ambience, enriched with the relaxing experience of viewing an enchanting sunset, a sphere of light colored in a splendid red-orange, projected on the plane of a horizon that transforms any painting into a closed universe, perfect and self-sufficient.

I still wonder if nature has not created this moment of sweet respiro especially for me, so that I can more easily enter into communion with the divinity, so that I can turn the present into a timeless space of bliss and serenity, in a unique design where memories will come alive again.

Can the image on which you focus your attention highlight the existence of synesthesia in a natural setting that remains unaffected by the passage of time?

Indeed, the eyes perceive the observable image in a time horizon close to it, passing horizontally through a path that goes up to the "first common superior" and then back down to the plane of real retrospection of authentic experiences. However, the sensation of a "persistent but discreet smell" can provide a framework that transmits feelings. The smell of the sea respects my emotional values, it does not withdraw from me the feeling of soulful fulfillment that characterized the well-known painter Nicolae Grigorescu, in the view of the writer Alexandru Vlahuta:

"Grigorescu did not seek to solve problems, nor to preach. After all, he did not seek anything. From the multitude of soothing moments, from the multitude of impressions, from the fecund powers of his life, a part of himself, a cleaner, more luminous, more worthy of the realm of poetry. This, and only this, became painting."

Even now I remember the sea, with its strong waves, it seemed endless when I watched it from the shore. But since I could not see the space beyond the edge of the observable horizon, I could not know whether the size of the image that was attracting my attention, in its totality, was finite or exhaustible. The sea breeze, the salty smell, the relaxation and the days of rest on the beach, were the assets that brought me to the present state. Be that as it may, every day spent at the seaside was a moment of rediscovery, of unique emotions, of return and, last but not least, of memories.

There are some special moments that deserve to be kept for a long time not only in memory, but also in color...

I still wonder: why did my eyes look at the sea with such affection, forgetting anything and everything? Because the sea also looked at me with the same affection, and from her look I understood that she felt the same. As if, looking at me, she wanted to forget all the vanity of this world. Looking at her longingly, she said something to me before I left, but so that only I could hear:

- On that fine sand that washes away with one breath, only one man, an artist endowed with aesthetic power, left visible, irreplaceable traces. I took the tracks back, just to be sure that he will return to me, and then he will reveal to me what purity, perfection, eternity, peace is, associating them with the image of other colors.

Leadership has in its composition the soul's need to transcend, to contemplate the spiritual beauty, and to integrate into a whole all the moments that are realized through creation.

The Artist's Eyes Are Subordinate To Affective Values if you consider the following aspect: you have to go through all the "impermanent" moods if you want to truly experience a sublime moment. These eyes know how to see, as in clear water, everything that comes to the surface with passion, beyond any honest reasoning, in an artistic image: that inner light that connects you to everything and brings you inner peace, that ecstasy of the soul drunk with freedom.

This inner light will also shine on the outside, in a painting made in water colors.
