After spending
more than two hours on watching, seeing and feeling the photos on your profile,
now I am finally ready to write.
Actually, my fascinating
extraordinary feeling and comment is about two other pictures, which I probably
should wait to be posted here.
In the
meanwhile, I write about this very photo on this forum now. Well, as I said I
had about two hours of thinking and analyzing, whose description is not very
welcome here I guess, as it’s more about feeling than thinking.
One amazing and
important thing that I realized by this picture was “how strongly art can show
you to you!” This is the second time that I had a hard time to FEEL an art. On
one hand, I understood I am still having trouble with FEELING, which
apparently has been deactivated in me! (Thank you for revealing it to me,
Michael). On the other hand, I clearly saw how art show me to me. I am sure
there much more to find about the influence of art. This is the first time I am
having such experience with art.
And about this
painting… An amazing soothing sense that says I'm safe and protected… This feeling is evoked by the delightful interplay of colors. The two dominant
colors, blue and black, seem to flow within me, moving from my inner world
outward and from the outside back into me repeatedly. The sense of hardship,
fear, darkness, and insecurity carried by the black, together with the sense of
calm, safety, and support conveyed by the blue, creates the feeling that these
two are neither separate from one another nor does either one dominate the
other. Together, they form a beautiful, harmonious balance that gently soothes
the soul. They both coexist, and if we find ourselves seeing and feeling
hardship more intensely, it is because this harmony has been disrupted. Well, I
knew it theoretically, but now I am FEELING it. I am so happy now… I hope I
never lose this feeling that is illuminating inside me now.
And the middle of the picture/ blackhole… it seems there is a party there,
to which not everybody is participating/ invited yet. I can even hear the sound
of music from there! And the fact that it’s so illuminating, unlike the description
of a blackhole in science of physics, again talks about the conflict between
the dark assumptions in our world and the light truth in the REAL world/ in the
LIGHT…
And… apart from all above-mentioned feelings, what is this sense of JOY conveyed
by this painting? It may be the result of what I experienced with this art, or more
likely, it is the JOY that the artist was feeling, absorbing, and assimilating
in his body and soul while creating this artwork …
Michael, your art tonight gave me a very rare and amazing feeling. I am grateful for that, dear artist.
P.S. By looking at the time now, I realized it took a long time to not only feel it, but also turn the feeling into words!
