Control the way in which you go through overdevelopment stages, without getting away from the well-determined guidelines of a stable functionality.

I had come to regret every moment that kept me away from myself, as in the case of an artist who only likes an art that starts from anxiety to reach serenity. No doubt seemed to exist about what was actually happening to me. Every effort vested in accepting or rejecting some hypotheses regarding the effect of producing avalanches of ideas and revelations became more and more troublesome. An obstacle that couldn’t be by-passed, ensuring by contrast a better understanding of my defects and qualities.

For the innovator of an ever more complex and specialized language in a certain area of expertise, time wasn’t a playfield anymore. But a carrousel of confusion and instability, which always turned around, faster and faster, either one way or the other. The body couldn’t support anymore the weight of the expectations I had always created. My art seemed to have turned into a window overlooking a void of disappearance of the line, every aspect of the landscape that proposed novel concepts announcing an aesthetic formula drawn from a cone of shadow of the self, like falling into an insignificant abyss.

The focusing degree of through, of attention, seemed to be maintained at a low level. Strange. My art seemed to always symbolize something other than what I had originally planned, something of which I was rather frightened than amazed, because everything seemed limitless, but at the same time lifeless. The extent to which I was channeling my mental energy in the direction of an only type of activity had decreased until the minimum level of maintaining the creative force. The burning desire to escape routine, the desire for absolute change had become a priceless tool.

Art is a triumph of science. And science, heavy, triggered a full rebellion in my mind. The more discoveries I made, the more it restrained my relaxation field. The more I advanced deeper into the unknown, the more I floated away from the pure and simple joy of living. Unmistakably, the maximum effort came with an overload. Instead of allowing my mind to set itself free and reach a stage of relief, I was blocking the energy within me at its maximum development point.

Can you transform the future of your creation into a new beginning of aesthetic argument by interpreting the constant phenomenon of perception of a “total truth” meant to bring your vision closer to the requirements of a new world?

My aspiration to reach the absolute creation ideal suddenly fell apart. As if I had lost my reason, as if o heavy hand, unseen and cold would have pushed me towards an unfriendly environment, towards unpleasant compromises. And this immovable force, using a certain brutality of its aces, generated a break of the agreement with myself.

What can give art a spiritual, essential, expressive nature by constantly seeking an ideal of order and clarity, established by a formula of beauty, is the constant phenomenon of perception of “total truth” meant to bring you closer to the world of dreams become reality. In my case, the only truth meant to bring my vision closer to the requirements of a new world (to be perceived as a fascinating expression of the transcendent, the existence of a consciousness that does not know doubt) was detached from the nightmare of the theory of chaos.

To me, the uncategorized chaos seemed endless. I wasn’t decided. I wasn’t ready to draw any conclusions. Maybe I could have compensated the past by venturing into a future with much more free time in order to focus on the things that really mattered. I had reached a point where my life was similar to that of a character from one of George R.R. Martin’s novels. I intended to get closer to the end. And maybe this way I could have managed to guess and build the beginning.

Here I should quote the words of a famous banker, referring to the art of seeing everything as a whole: “The different elements of the printed drawing in the same place, on the face and on the back, form a whole image when the banknote is illuminated from the opposite side of the viewer.”

Can you move forward in the artistic field if you are spinning in the circle of a masterpiece that is not the reflection of an eternal idea, but that leaves its mark on the perception of your form of existence in the world?

Your development potential, that imperiously asks to be fulfilled and brought to light, is used in the actual plan of your existence, of fundamental values, of the mission and vision that you assume in the name of your own needs and interests. But especially in the name of your personality, perfectly integrated with functionality and perfection of the art to which you relate.

And this development potential is amplified only between the toleration limits, well established by life in relation to leadership. It sets a certain superior development and creation limit, by using information, and one stagnation and inertia limit.

Your aspiration for reaching the absolute creation ideal can suddenly crumble if you try to overstep your own limits. The effect won’t be spectacular anymore, but contrary to your expectations.

Super-intense effort generates the end of passion. This is a consequence of overstepping a barrier or the maximum reachable limits. And in an era where information and innovation are generated and circulated at fast speed, it’s high unlikely (if not impossible) to keep up with them. Any attempt to comprise and understand everything is meant to fail. Any mental overload generates contrary effects when the incomes are infinitesimal in comparison with the huge expenditures, and they will also have no practical finality.

In leadership, everything is built step by step. Development is achieved in time, then shaped and correlated with new scientific discoveries in order to reach a maximum possible productivity and efficiency level. Any attempt to reach beyond the maximum allowed by your own abilities can generate the lamentable ending.

The perception of your form of existence in the world is realized directly through art when you try to make a comparison between the great disappointments of creative efforts and the spontaneous revelations: the first one tests your determination and open your eyes, the others draw you a direction and make you feel like you belong to a unitary whole, not that you are chasing your own tail.

The well-defined benchmarks that measuring progress of leadership are given by the four primary aspects of art: the focus on the essentiality of an idea to be conveyed, the depth of feeling and what is not said in words or what cannot be explained rationally, the perspective that gives an overview of a new reality and the revelation of a world that refuses to die.

The Product Of An Evolution Beyond Ending is nothing else but the result of the efforts that are not always up to the level of expectations and can’t hold a high development rhythm for man that aspires with all his heart to outdo himself. It appoints at the same time the transit towards a new beginning, towards a better direction, towards self-becoming within the frame of an ideal in life in agreement with the well-determined efforts of a new and stable functionality.
