The Gaze That Is Mirrored In The Eye That Captures The Immediate

In order for the entire creation of your mind to take an expressive form, first learn to look carefully at a moving image.

A leaf, full of iridescence, undulates its shape in the spring wind. It falls slowly, in the sublime of a moment’s demonstration, then rises again, in the sublime of an artistic act. Because it is seen through the eyes of an artist, whose gaze encompasses everything that the leaf gives birth to in a photographic imagination, he having the power to move in the horizon of creation any drop of color.

Velvety, soft, tender. I see it as if I saw myself flying with angel wings in a renaissance painting. The leaf also has a name, Marhessyl, or “the one that flies towards the west”.

That’s all you need to turn yourself into a masterpiece. A leaf. To feel it is a great thing; to make others feel it, this is the attribute of the artist to be the means of transposing beauty into matter. You would capture the charm, you would admire the shape in the wind, in the golden rays of the sun, it is a testimony of the sublime dialogue between the depth of the look I dreamed of and the respite to enrich my soul in places where I never set foot.

Finally, the freedom to look is the reason for the eye to tell its vision about what art means, about what it means to be a visual narrator.

I met another leaf, enchanted by the spell of a magician, stirred by the magical words of an enlightenment, very close to the evolution of an adventurous soul in a world full of masks, beyond words. I still don’t know if she was aware of how I perceived her: as a simple female figure, of noble elegance, in the sea of people passing through my left and right. Or as an illusion. Or as an acting challenge to which I had to respond positively, trying to imitate her commotion, swinging her from side to side. Or as a discreet, unostentatious participation in a dance of passion.

I still don’t know if she saw me with the eyes with which I saw her, but I know that my gaze was reflected in her colors, green and red, suitable for the “make-up” of her eyes.

Are you able to manifest your artistic skills using that positioning of the gaze in the middle of nature, on an active presence in the organization of creation, in order to offer a vision that imposes the purity and simplicity of things?

To realize the value of a man who acts according to the plan of nature, towards the purpose of Creation and the return to the Creator, ask him about a leaf that has just come off the branch. And to make a leaf enter the space of your heart, the moment you can look at it as through a canvas painted in multiple colors, here’s how to approach it. From several perspectives:

- If you are a painter and do not know how to turn a leaf into a picture full of harmony, it means that you do not know how to see the beauty of nature, and you probably do not know anything about the psychology of colors.

- If you are a doctor, and you do not know how to observe a leaf well, especially its peculiarities at different times, it means that you do not know much about the disease that your patients suffer from.

- If you are a writer, and you do not know how to induce a rebirth into a relationship with a character in the leaf’s way of being, it means that you lack the gift to live through words You do not master the art through which the word’s expression is revealed.

- If you are a sculptor and do not know how to carve a leaf in a piece of wood, it means that the thin layers of your mind are unworked.

- If you are a mechanic and do not know how to see in the movement of the leaf taken by the wind a new use of the engine, it means that you lack vision.

- If you are a composer and fail to synchronize your musical notes, amplify or reduce the sound effects after the endless shades of rust of the leaf that falls on the calm mirror of the water of a lake, it means that you lack the flair to merge several techniques of mastering, mixing.

- If you are a director and you can’t boost the play of images created by the various movements of the leaf taken by the spring wind, it means that you lack the flair to return the audience’s perception from “the need to know” to “the beauty of knowing”.

For the whole creation of your mind to take an expressive form, first learn to look carefully at a leaf, learn to penetrate its existence, its form, inside its cells, then lift it into the air only with the power of thought and take it to where it can become the center of admiration for a masterpiece.

You can make leadership the culmination of creation when the object of your attention is between the obvious and the subtle, provided you consider it as the center of admiration for a masterpiece.

The Gaze That Is Mirrored In The Eye That Captures The Immediate measures the distance between the obvious and the subtle, by the fact that everything you include in an image can have valences for personalizing reality, from materialism to idealism.
