The Eyes Express Their Admiration For The Seen And Unseen

You will not be able to discover the greatness of an ideal horizon, without perceiving the “shaking” of an image projected in the memory of a cyclical time.

To capture the most spectacular images of the sea, you need a camera that can offer as many pixels as possible in an image. But you need something else to enrich the universe of art: you need to create the premise of a futuristic world that is governed by a strict order. Seeking to clarify this, along with the promise that I will not change too much my perception of any present event, to which is added the connotation of a state of adoration, but also regret for the irreversible passage of time, my gaze took the place of the gaze of a enlightener whose creative reason can transgress the temptations of poetic artifices.

The image of the sea, capturing not only simple moments, but many details, can be found in the eye-opening sequence towards the scope of a singular artistic representation, a message, an idea, such as the existence of a futuristic world governed by a strictly visual order, at the same time broadening the horizon of a gaze whose imagination is always turned on to superstitions, to belief in the supernatural. Everything I experience, momentary passions or long imaginary obsessions, the situations I pass by, even the thrill of crossing a gap in reality, all are lost behind a skeptical and indifferent look that seems to want to encompass in one moment what can be lost in a too busy setting.

And yet, something unspoken, confusing, unexpected, but somehow essential, a feeling that constantly accompanies me beyond the sight of my eyes, turns my reality upside down. That’s why the image in front of my eyes seems to “tremble”, as if it were projected in the memory of a cyclical time in which the sea becomes a mirror that is always current and outside of time.

And this fact is due to the alternative balancing option of some distinct visual elements (shadow of objects, overlap of images), which are not necessarily meant to beautify the horizon, each having a slightly different shade of the same basic color, but which nevertheless seem to continue a world view. And this vision requires you to understand it, to feel it, to experience it on the stage of your own life, as an active spectator, experiencing different roles – from painter to scenographer, and from observer to artist.

Leadership: Can the aesthetic perception of the images generated by the visual acuity of your eyes manifest itself through the action of finding an ideal horizon in which the profile of a vast work can be seen?

Do you see how beautiful her face is when she tenderly mirrors her shining eyes in the colors of the clear summer sky? Very often, her eyes denote the typical characteristics of a relaxing color, but they can also be variants of the fundamental nocturnal color, which seems to have an important role on the viewer in the aesthetics of the world in constant transformation, just as the painting on the mirror conveys power and gives the viewer an active role, who thus has the opportunity to be part of a work of art.

Yes, the sea is beautiful, because its captivating eyes, which I love and want next to me every day, shining with freedom above the waves, do not stop seeing my own reality.

Then I see her again with the eyes of my soul, kind, merciful and full of love, for days on end, with the risk of sinking into melancholy, into that pious, holy melancholy, which seems to awaken the sight of a great temple, full of legends, fallen into ruins. And whenever I remember the waves of the sea and the aromas that smell clean, the white sand that makes the sea seem clear, I realize that I am more fragile than the sand that it washes away with a breath. The very process of remembering is the fruit of an authentic, living and natural feeling, the artistic embodiment of a high ideal, not a simple artistic photograph of the occasion.

Well, the man whose fundamental vision is based on aspiration and desire for the reintegration of difference into unity, will know how to see a grain of sand in a single wave, starting from any individual subject. He will count every wave, like every grain of sand, as one and the same, one with all in the absolute plane. On this occasion, the revelation of a new beauty admired in this soothing proximity to the sea, which the Surrealists call Esthesis Inisth Argostich (beauty as a chance encounter), is due to the mixture of the aesthetic interpretation of a dreamy, nostalgic, glamorous image, and the visual power exacerbated by vivid, intense, vibrant colors that give life to art through flashes of light.

Leadership: Does your creation express a ratio of proportionality between the effects of two opposite phenomena that highlight the length of mathematical reasoning: “decrease – increase”?

There is another way to clarify this causal relationship between sea and sky, between sand dunes and ocean waves, especially if we compare two different sciences, such as mathematics and music. Mathematics cannot renounce what is real and will always represent only what is ideal in space. While music, viewed as a manifestation of the spirit, also has a real extension, but it is subordinated more to reflection, to inclusion in the artistic plane, thus profiling itself as something particular and, as such, can be taken up in the plane of the universal. And even if painting is an art of fine taste, depending on light and chiaroscuro, it is entirely ideal if it is constituted as an object of open reflection, or as a language of the spirit manifested through images and through the succession of ideas.

In this case, my judgment will have to reach where the sea meets the caress of the sun, as an artistic exposition of the infinite in the finite. And hearing, as a form of perception of the voice whispered by the voice of a nymph, through the perception of signals from the environment, being a sense located above the spirit of observation, offers the possibility to receive and interpret the waves of the sea waves in perfect silence, especially the way they vibrate when they hit the shore, humming the majestic hymn of freedom, of immortality, a hymn of reconciliation with the blows of destiny.

Is it not so? Unlike sight, where finitude or difference appears only as an allegory of the infinite, hearing now appears as an increase in visual acuity. Hear the song of the sea better as you see deeper into the horizon. But for that you have to adopt a flexible attitude towards the flow of life, a fact that makes an artist manifest his personality in real time, in his compositional ideas, trying to find himself in a unique painting inspired by real events. He must feel the emotion from that time, the sensations that are born in himself, to build an unforgettable moment.

In this case, realism comes to anticipate the superior ideal unity of the artist, who is the “beautiful visionary” in the sphere of the multiple moments of admiration of the sea, while it crosses distant borders…

An artistic creation can have the length of mathematical reasoning: “decrease – increase” only if the constituent elements of your visual experiences follow the path established by the idea: between the finite and the infinite there is always a field of undefined extent.

Nor do I believe that there is proportion or gradation between the finite and the infinite. There is an absolute pause, a leap over the space of the dispute between light and darkness, between life and death…

The Eyes Express Their Admiration For The Seen And Unseen when the artist is able to capture both the depth of a space stranger than one would think, but free as the sea is, as well as the extent of a horizon within which something can suddenly appear surprising.
