Be able to understand your mind and feelings through the eyes of an artist who feeds on the sap of creation.

If I enjoyed reading and rereading one book during school and high school, Wilhelm Hauff’s “Fairy Tales”, it was because this book was the only source of knowledge from which I learned everything I knew. Absolutely everything I know. About symbols, mysteries and spirituality. And no one else knew how to see among its ranks, what my soul managed to see behind what unites one world with another: the virtue of penetrating all the things that exist and that happen with them.

Sometimes I go back to this wonderful book of fairy tales, forgetting all the other books, and I find myself reinvented under the baton of the same Wilhelm Hauff, who made me become one with himself. And if I had something important to say, in a single masterpiece of self-reflection, I could only say it in the same way that Wilhelm Hauff did:

“I’m just a poor young man forced to make his way around the world with his pen. I belong to everyone, I belong to myself, but I don’t belong to any school… I don’t feel above me any master or teacher to whom I owe obedience, apart from the eternal laws of good and beauty, towards which I tend, even so, in an imperfect manner.

I may not be able to keep my form away from the influence of time, but my spirit will remain negoethean, netieckean, neschlegelean and real.”

Leadership: Is the object of your creation a well-documented existence, mediated by the creative self in deep solidarity with that consciousness of a reality that has not been fully deciphered in all its consequences?

At great value were the simple phrases, but full of double meanings, personifications and metaphors, which allowed the consciousness of the artist in me to perceive the miraculous creation of a work of art, equivalent to the study of a form of infinity that springs from the consciousness of the omniscient Creator. Let us not forget, at the same time, that each hidden meaning that Wilhelm Hauff shapes in his work is based on the repetition of a word, a figure of speech based on polysemy and homonymy.

I think I was dealing with the master of a realistic narrative art, but bearing the imprint of diversity and universality of the myth that absorbs those abstract relationships between realities, acting with unaltered spontaneity to develop the technique of an art that highlights the great strengths of true plastic poetry. Indeed, it is not about poetry, but about a poetic writing that hides, like the language of painting, a certain causal phenomenon, a cause-effect relationship, but also a phenomenon of overturning the usual view of reality.

On the same plane of overturning the usual conceptions about reality, all the creative effervescence of the artists takes place. This allowed me to reach that consciousness of a reality that exists beyond appearances, a fact that in any fairy tale pivots between candor and disguise, between rarity, choices and interactions, between characters and their own consciousness (embodied as a judge).

Every work of art must have a connecting structure between what is shown and what is hidden.

In short, the consequences of reality reflected in Wilhelm Hauff’s work can only be seen in an image in which you both acknowledge your weaknesses and strengths, in which you openly manifest your talents, admit your imperfections, and admire your greatness.

And leadership can be the object of an exceptional personal creation if and only if the reality you build through your thoughts, beliefs, moods and deeds becomes the beginning of a spiritual journey: eternity, infinity, unity, wholeness, continuation of cycles of rebirth and renewal.

The design of a state of mind whose scope is much wider than the area of intellectual functions can be attributed to any great creation. And the unexpected finding that enlivens the horizon of artistic expression through symbols and allegories, glimpsed through allusions and references to various landmarks, starts from the fact that beyond the threshold of common reality there is an invisible bridge between two worlds, between heaven and earth.

The brilliant creator of the work of art reacts just like the ordinary man when he finds himself in front of a lightly loaded painting and whose subject is unfamiliar to him: he is amazed by the admiration at the sight of worldly and secular splendor.

The Reconstruction Of A Personality Reflected In Its Double suggests the closeness between an artist and his creation, even when the viewer’s eyes are surprised by the resemblance between “what is seen at first sight” and “what is hidden in sight”.

The eyes of a true artist always see a symbol where others see only a banality or confusion. Are you able to see similarities where others only see differences? Are you able to link events creatively based on observing meaningful connections?
