If you're looking solely for graphic art or something dedicated purely to the visual aspect, this might not be your ideal destination. But let me explain why: my soul has been urging me to share more than just simple representations of my pictorial work. It's not just about offering images; it's an invitation to delve into something deeper.
Now, let's touch on a topic that often causes some wariness: spirituality. But before you jump to any conclusions, let me clarify that I speak of spirituality in a very grounded sense: as a state of being. This goes beyond the stereotypes or clichés of the "New Age" that some may dismiss for lack of scientific backing.
For me, spirituality boils down to one word: presence. This concept, though simple at first glance, is actually a universe of nuances and lessons. My spiritual journey has revealed that we often believe we understand who we are and why we act in certain ways, but the reality is that we are deceived by our own perceptions. We think our decisions result from a deep internal knowledge when, in truth, it's only through genuine presence that we can act with the certainty of being aligned with our true feelings and desires. This presence helps us discern whether our actions stem from fear or love, understanding the latter not as a romantic concept but as the purest expression of our being.
How does all this relate to art? For me, the connection is direct and essential. Just as our decisions in life can be influenced by various emotional states, these states can also be the starting point for our creative expression.
If we aspire to create something that truly resonates with our essence, it's crucial to be fully connected with our being. I firmly believe it's possible to create from any emotional state, which has led to countless masterpieces. However, if our goal is to faithfully express what we truly wish to communicate, we must learn to listen to ourselves carefully. How many times have we created something with the aim of pleasing others, and even though the work was well-received, we were left feeling empty? This happens when our actions seek external approval, which, in essence, is acting out of fear.
In conclusion, every idea has its value and is part of the creative process. But if we want to depict something emanating from the most authentic part of our mind and soul, it's fundamental to know ourselves, understand our origins, and accept ourselves in the present, beyond our actions and possessions. This is what I aim to share through my blog: not just art, but also a reflection of my journey towards a deeper understanding of these and other concepts.
Thank you :)
