The Old Man’s Eyes Full Of Infinite Meanings
The consummate artist transforms his message into a visual masterpiece manifested in conjunction with the subtle sphere of force of reflection: “who I am looking at myself through someone else’s eyes”.
I have always imagined the sea, furrowed by waves and ships, as the creation of an old man waiting for a moment projected into eternity, in whose eyes there is a sweet melancholy, an aesthetic delirium, quiet enough, a kind of calm sadness, like a soft music, which causes a subject to live passively, without taking initiatives regarding the act of controlling the escape from reality.
Through the eyes of a traveler in eternity, this proud old man watches over the vast and distant, but with eyes that think more than see.
Indeed, I am only a young artist, but I can see the sea through the eyes of an old man who imagines things to be outside of time, as if they belong more to the sky than to the earth. And only by looking at each break of the waves on the shore, in the middle of different shades of cobalt blue or green, will I be able to understand, as necessary, the concept of “reflection force” – who I am looking at myself through someone else’s eyes.
Can you represent an image in a synthetic perspective, from the height of a gaze that allows itself the demand to be mirrored in a picture painted by a single author through duality?
The old man speaks to the young man, but he speaks in a sweet, enticing, divine voice, like a chord on the strings of a violin, like a sweet melody left fresh over time, and this voice seems to cry out a transcendental remark “I have seen you and I have liked you ! ”. Therefore, whoever wants to find his reflection in the image of the waves, knowing how to unite in a euphonic whole several voices, with several octaves, each of which has its own melody, will know how to recognize himself as a confidant of the sea. How else to hear the murmur of the sea dying on the shore and in your heart?
Against a background of dreamy fragility, in the same plane of the figurative, listening is a way to form connections with other creatures, with other marine resources, with other islands, with other landscapes, with other memories. Leaving aside the premises of abstractionism, so without removing from the representation of the work of art any reference to external realities, I highlighted the needs of the artistic sensibility to which I am connected at the moment when my mind oscillates between reality and dream.
Two needs of artistic sensibility are: the intensity of living expressed through continuity (through the remarkable ability to metamorphose, to pass from one state to another) and that depth of spirit in which a macrocosm is mirrored unaltered, a rare landscape on the convex surface of a special lens, similar to a telescope.
And if the old man reflects his visual acuity by associating with the narrative matter, fulfilling in the unconscious plane the function of the mirror that reflects the acquisition of the young man to feel the aesthetic emotion in front of the phenomena and objects of nature, then there is no doubt that the image that includes the sea, the waves, the amazing landscapes of the coast, is like a unique painting, painted by a single author.
Are you aware of the fact that an image can be considered edifying even for a trivial fact, in relation to the reception of an artistic path in constant expansion?
Along with a mi pequeño sentimiento, an image can be considered edifying even for a trivial fact in relation to the reception of an artistic path in constant expansion. I say this being aware of the influence of book 165 of “One Thousand and One Nights”. Here, the old caliph Harun Al-Raşid asked the young, beautiful and wise Sympatia: “How did Creation begin?”, and she answered:
“Allah created Adam from a ball of clay. The clay was made with foam. The foam was removed from the sea. The sea was brought out of the clouds. The blacks – from the light. Light – from a pool of water. Water jasmine – from a ruby. Ruby - from a rock. The rock out of the water. And the water was made by the almighty word: Let it be ! ”
All these are fragments of my existence that the present moment swallows, to emerge later in all their depth and brilliance under the appearance of lumps of matter, elements and fields known to my perceptions. In fact, everything I told you about the sea and the waves, in a visual and auditory demonstration, is a variation on “The Old Man and the Sea”, crystallized as a personal vision in a standard of dual creation: the creation of beauty from a knowledge a priori and the beautiful splash from the echo of a voice from the future.
In leadership, as in art, a trivial fact highlights the benefit of a single fleeting glance towards a distant point, a glance that retains its expressiveness, the compositions rich in narrative, only if the viewer constitutes both a physical entity and an intangible entity.
The Old Man’s Eyes Full Of Infinite Meanings, can maintain their focus on an object, while that object moves closer or further away. Here we can also include the artist’s message through the duality of the real and ideal ways of being. Two ways of belonging to the existent do not mean two independent worlds, but one broken in two: in which the old dream of past times, and the young secretly open their souls hoping to form another image of what the future could have in store for them.
Art itself is a re-actualization of the past in the present, but also a transformation of the present into the future. The sea, the waves, the unforgettable landscapes, will never be absent from the eyes of the old man who will always create new horizons of beauty, only to become young again.
P.S. To represent an image in a synthetic perspective means to imagine a reality that cannot exist without the awareness of the similarity between what is near and what is far. And the message of a perfect artist is this: “If you cannot identify with the image of your own creation, you will not be able to open yourself to a new world of endless possibilities.”
