Healers

"Healers"

Watercolor on paper, 24 January 2007

 Henry Miller said that everyone becomes a healer when forgets about himself. Uncertainty, pain and suffering are our life companions, along many other feelings and emotions. But no greater satisfaction is at our reach than becoming a healer to our neighbor. Listen attentively to your fellow person: you both will become healers to each other.

Catharsis

"Catharsis"

Watercolor on paper,  12 Feb 2005

   There is a tendency in some human beings (including some artists), to shock the public "to wake them up", and thus hopefully instigate the changes they deem necessary.

 However, shock alone is not enough to change people’s mind. Expecting changes on people by shocking them with weird or disgusting shows is as naïve as expecting changes on people by shocking them with a live wire. If they don't understand why, and what they are shocked for, don't expect any changes.

 When a new truth is understood, a change of mind occurs and then people are shocked by the perception of this change- This is called catharsis: the intelligent shock that precedes a paradigm change.

Gaia revisited

Sunset clouds, digital photography, Nov. 2008

  Earth's atmosphere is a most rare event in Nature, absolutely unlikely to be a product of hazard. Stable in composition and temperature for eons, it keeps a wonderful balance of its components that makes possible all physical and chemical transactions that life needs. It behaves with homeostatic moves to maintain stable thousands of "life constants", as any living organism does... Just a slight variation of 3% or 4% in the oxygen proportion, for instance, would terminate all life on Earth within only a few thousand years... 

  Independently of its meaning and the opinions we may have about it, "Gaia" exists as a global, permanent life-supporting homeostatic system, and our mere existence is the proof.

Exceptions to the rule

"Exceptions to the rule"

Watercolor on paper, 9 Aug. 2005


We are all exceptional. Every event in the Universe is exceptional and unique.

  We need to name and label things for reasoning, but those labels are only in our minds. They are practical and useful, but they can be misleading mental illusions, artificial rational mirages.

   The drama comes when we trust and follow the labelled reality; Then we are mistaken, and the illusions overlap our genuine, all-important living reality. Mistakes and entropy then appear, turning flesh hearts into stone.

We are in this world, but we do not belong to it. Stones do.

Magic Stones

"Magic Stones"

Watercolor on paper, 6 Aug. 2005

 

 Stones are like little planets- each one is different, have different textures, personality. Most are millions of years old. Nothing else around us will remain in 10 million years from now, except the very same stones.

Deconstructed dawn

"Deconstructed dawn"

Watercolor on paper, 28 Mar 2013

 I liked the idea of showing the energy of the sun influencing all that it touches, bringing around life and movement. Sun, planets and stars are very present in my paintings, as they form the very basic structure of the Universe, while we humans are in the other end of time and complexity.  I feel though a strong bond between both.
